Recensione:

“Like our living literary giants Toni Morrison and Thomas Pynchon, Russell Banks is a great writer wrestling with the hidden secrets and explosive realities of this country.” (Cornel West)

“Banks ranks among our boldest artists.” (Boston Globe)

“A vividly imagined book. It has the romantic atmosphere of those great 1930s tales in film and prose, and it speeds the reader along from its first pages...Banks’ talents are so large - and the novel so fundamentally engaging...THE RESERVE is a pleasure well worth savoring.” (Scott Turow, Publishers Weekly)

“...sexy, almost guilty pleasure of a read...” (Elle Magazine)

“...this powerful and beautiful Russell Banks novel is close to a masterpiece.” (Deseret Morning News)

“Russell Banks’s work presents without falsehood and with tough affection the uncompromising moral voice of our time. I trust his portraits of America more than any other.” (Michael Ondaatje)
