Reviews

To my mind, Bernard Wolfe remains one of the most remarkable original writers of the 20th centuryShrewd, and sometimes profound, comments on Western civilisation. - ObserverDeep, strange, and wonderful, LIMBO represents a straight arrow pointing from the cautionary dystopias of Orwell and Huxley to the postwar absurdist mode of CATCH-22, Pynchon, and Philip K. DickAs to the books of Bernard Wolfe, his extraordinary imagination, his range of styles and genres, should alone qualify him for a conspicuous role in 20th century American literature
