Critics Review
“Pictures of a writer’s days… . An intimate volume revealing glimpses of his life and work… . Although he gave up artwork in favor of writing, he still finds pleasure in combining both, as did William Blake… . Some illustrations, glowing with pinks, greens, and yellows, evoke Matisse.
