Quinn's Book
The scene is still Albany and environs, but the time is the decade or so preceding the Civil War, the tone "high fantastical." Daniel Quinn is a self-reliant orphan; plucky, ambitious and in love. "Narrative is not the essence here," commented PW of this "richly packed" novel. "It is Quinn' s endless, apparently effortless invention that dazzles, like a virtuoso musician improvising." 75,000 first printing; $65,000 ad/promo.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
