Critics Review
“First Loves is a beautiful, funny and finally heartbreaking story of love won and lost; it is also an unforgettable account of American culture in the post-War period … equally inspired by the muse of fiction and the muse of history, story under oath.” –Alan Shapiro

In First Loves his coming of age as a writer, student, teacher, husband and father is told with sensitivity and skill … and no less moving or artful for being true.” –Dan Wakefield, the Nation
