Review:
Boston Sunday Globe Deeply thoughtful...Price's own faith underlies the whole argument, while his intelligence probes the sources of that belief....comforting and consoling.
Craig Nova The Washington Post Book World What is inspiring about his book...is the dignity and honesty of Price's beliefs....The solace comes...in his sensibility, which is one of concern, empathy, and dignity....At once inspiring and profound.
Edward Hirsch The New York Times Book Review Courageous, learned, intuitive...a small book with a large reach.

Reynolds Price was born in Macon, North Carolina in 1933. Educated in the public schools of his native state, he earned his A.B. summa cum laude from Duke University; and in 1955 he traveled as a Rhodes Scholar to Merton College, Oxford University to study English literature. After three years and the B.Litt. degree, he returned to Duke, where he continues his fifth decade of teaching. He is the James B. Duke Professor of English.
In 1962, his novel A Long and Happy Life received the William Faulkner Award for a notable first novel and has never been out of print. Since, he has published more than thirty books. Among them, his novel Kate Vaiden received the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1986. His Collected Stories appeared in 1993, his Collected Poems in 1997; in 1995 he completed his trilogy A Great Circle, which consists of the novels The Surface of Earth, The Source of Light, and The Promise of Rest. He has also published volumes of plays, essays, two volumes of memoirs, Clear Pictures and A Whole New Life, and two works of gospel translation and interpretation, A Palpable God and Three Gospels. The latter contains an entirely new gospel of Price's own devising, "an honest account of a memorable life." He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and his books have appeared in sixteen languages.
