Fever in the Earth

Edición de la obra Fever in the Earth

Slipcover comments: (1) "I began FEVER last evening about dusk and read it straight through, finishing after midnight. A gripping experience. The narrative interest is intense, highly sustained, and cumulative. The episodic detail is vivid, often explosive, always earthy and convincing. The dialogue is fluent, fast-paced, true-to-life, as is the sexual distinction between men and women. I mean the inner psychology between the sexes. The sense of region is full and authentic, of deep substance and broad scope, panoramic, but crisp with detail. The myth-like vision is powerful, and is of convincing substance. Altogether the work pulsates with a marvelous energy and vitality.... You have wrought a strong, beautiful, astonishing book, Bill." (William Everson, aka Brother Antoninus) (2) "Hotchkiss' curiously great book deals to a large extent with the nature and location of God. Not, one must understand, a universal, codified or even codifiable God, but a certain God that a certain man must find and come to terms with on his own." Stan Hager) SPECIAL NOTE: See LAST BEAR McCAIN, a revision of this poetic rendering in prose.
