"In this first collection of short stories, the 28-year-old author Mark Helprin writes with ease and sureness..., with a compassionate understanding and a clean, lucid prose....The quality that pervades these stories is love--love of men and women, love of landscapes and physical beauty, love of interior courage as well as the more easily obtainable outward strength. The author never treats his subjects with sentimentality but always with a gentleness of a kind that is all too rare in our fiction and our lives."Helprin, Mark is the author of 'Dove Of The East And Other Stories', published 2005 under ISBN 9780156031011 and ISBN 0156031019.
