What the critics say

  • Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 1993

"Butler's literary ventriloquism, as he mines the experiences of a people with a great literary tradition of their own, is uncanny; but his talents as a writer of universal truths is what makes this a collection for the ages." (Amazon.com review)
