Tongues of Flame Bewertungen

"Religion, sex and mania bursting hoof-footed from suburban doors" -- Fay Weldon
"Not since The Catcher in the Rye has there been such a believable portrayal of male puberty. The quality of story-telling and the cadence of the prose have a piercing authenticity" * Catholic Herald *
"As a technician [Parks] cannot be faulted. His book builds to a terrifying tour de force, made bearable only by the tight prose" -- Jeanette Winterson
"He can write, at will, like a modern Henry James, proceeding with composure through the labyrinth" * Literary Review *
