"Here is no gentle romantic twirling a buttercup... Miss Dillard is stalking the reader as surely as any predator stalks its game... Here is not only a habitat of cruelty and 'the waste of pain,' but the savage and magnificent world of the Old Testament, presided over by a passionate Jehovah with no Messiah in sight.... A remarkable psalm of terror and celebration." -- Melvin Maddocks
