"When Bernard Malamud won the National Book Award for his collection of stories... he was already teaching English at a college in the Northwest. Ergo it required no particular ingenuity to deduce that his next book would be about an English college teacher in that part of the country- and here it is."
"[Malamud] has tried to juxtapose this majesty of nature with the twisted, ingrained urbanism of his New York-bred hero."
