Critics Review
“Landscape with Traveler is a novel with character. The tone is so light and airy it achieves its own separate sense of time…beautifully refined without sacrificing wit or warmth. It’s a delight.” —The Boston Sunday Globe“For reminding us so artfully of the difficult simplicities, reminding us of what we already know, [the protagonist] Francis Reeves will become part of our landscape.” —Washington Post Book World“Landscape with Traveler is a major accomplishment, a small profound novel that will leave the reader utterly affected. Barry Gifford has created a small masterpiece.”—San Francisco Bay Guardian
