CHARLES BAXTER signs
The Soul Thief
(Pantheon, $20.00)
|
The Seattle Times called it a "...a brief, poignant reflection on identity" and went on to say: "... it's less a feast than a perfectly rendered appetizer. On my first time through the book, it seemed over too quickly; I wanted more time with the characters, and felt that the jump between Part 1 and Part 2 was too abrupt. The second time through, with expectations adjusted, The Soul Thief was darkly satisfying.... though brief (at just over 200 pages, it's almost a novella), [it] is filled with references that those who love books will delight in finding -- James, Fitzgerald, Stein, Highsmith. Baxter is a lyrical and gifted wordsmith, and many of his descriptions will haunt the reader long afterward." | |
