Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Rich, strange, alive with the miracles of daily life, this novel is a banquet for the soul. So many wonderful characters, all of whom I came to cherish as I watched them intersecting, the initial configurations of love reconfiguring themselves by the end. Truly, this is a novel in which the unexpected is always upon us."
--Andrea Barrett, author of Ship Fever and The Voyage of the Narwhal

"The Feast of Love is hilarious and at the same time desperately sad, full of wit and poetry and exquisitely observed perceptions of the human condition, erudite and streetwise at once. It conveys the delicacy, the violence, the salvation, and the destruction of love.  What a brilliant, powerful novel!"
--Alan Lightman, author of Einstein's Dreams

"Never have I read a novel and wanted, immediately, to reread it, as I did with The Feast of Love. Emotionally, intellectually, in all the ways that the very best literature attends us, Baxter's brilliant symphony of love, loss, memory, and astonishing metaphysical boldness is a complete sustenance, a perfect invention. His passionate writing raises the level of regard for life itself, let alone the art of writing. The Feast of Love deserves all lasting attention and great praise."
--Howard Norman, author of The Bird Artist
