Here he learns to deal with the vicissitudes of lifethe complexities of family ties and camaraderie, his sexuality, pride of excellence in school, the darker realities of history and human passionthrough confrontation and improvisation, and with style and courage.';[The Spyglass Tree] strikes a perfect balance between the black folk tradition and Faulknerian rumination....One reads this very fine novel for the glissando effect of its language, the vibrancy of its characters and the unabashed pleasure Mr. Murray takes in nostalgia for its own sake...with level-headed clarity and honesty.'The New York Times Book Review
