editYerby's comment regarding an 'ecumenicism broad enough to include reasonable men' is ironic, given his stated purpose of the novel as being to explore whether any man has the right to 'believe fanciful and childish nonsense', hardly an intelligent comment itself. His comments notwithstanding, this is his best novel, one of five worthy of being called outstanding, the others being Goat Song, An Odor of Sanctity, The Dahomean and The Girl From Storeyville. Yerby wrote many entertaining novels, most of them well worth reading, but these five are special. 65.1.243.2 (talk) 17:16, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
