Reception

[edit]

Kirkus wrote, "Strictly for fans who won’t mind this often-terrific storyteller not coming to a satisfactory conclusion, but rather ceasing, in exhaustion, from his prolific labors. "[2]

Times Record News called it "a fascinating opportunity to learn more about the man and his work."[3]
