Praise for Robert Morgan:

Morgan writes "with an authority usually associated with the great novelist of the last century."

— The Boston Book Review

. . .

In Morgan's hands... details become the stuff of stern, gripping drama.

— The New York Times

. . .

Robert Morgan has a rare and cunning gift: he can sift through the detritus of the past, pluck objects and images from his memory (especially his childhood) and elevate them to the point where they become -- in the sense that Campbell used the word -- 'numinous.'

— Gary Carden, The Smoky Mountain News
