Tlooth (American Literature Series)
"A brilliant book, in a very special way... While the method of telling it is quite sober, and the language plain, what actually happens is bizarre and wonderful. The descriptions that are blandly handed to you show an imagination and an ingenuity that are often just as astonishing. The details are sometimes savage and scabrous.... But the book has nothing to do with modish sick humor.... It is, for all its incidental excesses, fantasy, pure and simple.... If you can take it, this is a journey worth taking." -- Harper's"[TloothandConversionsare] comic extravaganzas that play mockingly with every device of fiction." -- Washington Post Book World"An imaginative free-form exercise in the best advanced style, one carefully planned with conventions of plot meticulously disregarded... with an emphasis on bizarre subject matter paramount.... Here in brief is a literary "happening" not without some interest for its motivations in technique in a world evidently prepared to abandon the old and tried for the new and quite experimental, at least in prose fiction." -- Virginia Quarterly Review
