Springer's Progress
"Alive with the pleasures of language . . . terribly funny,  formidably intelligent, and curiously compassionate."  --Jonathan Yardly,  Washington Post Book World 7-1-77"An exuberantly Joycean, yes, Joycean, celebration of carnality  and creativityan everything-goes, risk-taking, maniacally wild and funny  and painful novel . . . brilliant."  --New York Times Book Review 4-29-90"Funny and intelligent and, to say the very least, sexy."  --Mademoiselle 9-77"Marvelously bawdy . . . but what stands out finally is the  finely honed prose of a writer with a rare wit."  --Library Journal 8-90"This freewheeling celebration, this dancing wordplay . . .  delights the mind as well as the ear. A truly marvelous read."  --The East  Hampton Star 6-7-90
