Book Review of The Flight of the Falcon

The Flight of the Falcon
reviewed on + 813 more book reviews


Wolfe tells us that "You Can't Go Home Again." And, maybe you shouldn't. Our hero, a travel agent in Italy, tries to do so, but only succeeds in rearing ghosts of his past. Somehow he gets involved in the annual pageant put on by the local university: the reenactment of flight of a fifteenth century demonical ruler known as "the Falcon." Entertaining at times, at times a tad farcical, this is not one of her better endeavors.
