Reviews
"(A) shaggy-dog tale that eventually--boldly--invites comparison to its great progenitor, Don Quixote. By and large (Pacazo) earns its claim to the old knight's inheritance. (A) fresh and powerful reminder of what fiction can accomplish at full length."--John Domini, Bookforum "We think that Kesey, already so respected for his short stories, is going to be known as a major novelist following the publication of this work."--Stephen Elliott, The Rumpus Chosen as the January selection for The Rumpus Book Club Chosen as the February selection for Newtonville Books First Edition Club
