• New York Times Book Review Bastard out of Carolina: (Plume Essential Edition) Dorothy Allison   Simply stunning... as close to flawless as any reader could ask for... When I finished reading it, I wanted to blow a bugle to alert the public that a wonderful work of fiction by a major new talent has arrived on the scene. Please reserve a seat of honor at the high table of the art of fiction for Dorothy Allison. The special qualities of her style include a perfect ear for speech and its natural rythms; an unassertive, cumulative lyricism; an intentsely imagined and presented sensory world; and above all, a language for the direct articulation of deep and complex feelings.
