Reviews

If her Readings at the Edge of Literature did not reveal Jehlen as a formidable critic, this study of five novels should. The book defies easy categorization as it probes and interrogates reality and its truths. -- Choice Five Fictions in Search of Truth is wise to attend to writers' confrontations with reality, since such moments, once give a form as style, afford readers an unequaled perspective on truths that never quite seem to be overcome by prevailing skepticism and disbelief. -- Larry T. Shillock, Bloomsbury Review
