The Asiatics : A Novel

The Asiatics : A Novel

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Prokosch has invented what might be called the geographical novel, in which he mingles sensuality with irony, lucidity with mystery. He conveys a fatalistic sense of life half hidden beneath a rich animal energy. He is a master of moods and undertones, a virtuoso in the feeling of place, and he writes in a style of supple elegance." --Albert Camus

"The Asiatics is original in its conception, beautiful in its execution. It belongs with the most notable modern American books. " --Carl Van Doren
