The Man Who Fell to Earth
"Beautiful science fiction . . . The story of an extraterrestrial visitor from another planet is designed mainly to say something about life on this one."--The New York Times"An utterly realistic novel about an alien human on Earth . . . Realistic enough to become a metaphor for something inside us all, some existential loneliness."--NORMAN SPINRAD"Those who know The Man Who Fell to Earth only from the film version are missing something. This is one of the finest science fiction novels of its period."--J.R. DUNN   Author of Full Tide of Night"Tevis writes . . . with power and poetry and tension."--The Washington Post Book World"Terrific . . . The Man Who Fell to Earth can be seen as the story of a very hip, space-age Passion--about a savior who comes to Earth not to save us but his own people, and who is, in effect, crucified dead and buried."--VINCENT CANBY
