White People - Brossura

"Mimicry is a powerful narrative asset, and Allan Gurganus practices it like a virtuoso.... The author's vocal repertoire encompasses salesmanese, African American funerary dithyrambs, post-debutante bridge-table chatter, and redneck macho boasting....I can't think of a nit to pick from these stories. They have variety, humor, profundity, and verbal dexterity."

-- Dennis Drabelle The Washington Post Book World

"Gurganus now widens his theme to examine America's often painful positioning between what we have destroyed or lost, and what we might still hope to recover....Each story is a gem."

-- John C. Hawley San Francisco Chronicle

"Elegant, mysterious and satisfying...[In these stories, I the very human limitations of the empowered of the earth are revealed."

-- Judith Freeman Los Angeles Times Book Review
