In The News
“[An] Elegant, meditative novel . . . [In] the sublime Mariette in Ecstasy, Hansen deftly conveyed the intensity of religious experience that verged on insanity. Exiles, for all its storminess, is a quieter but equally affecting depiction of a spiritually and artistically transcen-dent life.” —The Boston Globe
“Dazzling and beautiful . . . it kept me up after midnight three nights in a row.” —The Washington Post
“One of our finest novelists . . . Hansen conveys a man conflicted by his callings as both a spiritual vessel and a full-blooded artist.” —Enterainment Weekly (Grade: A)
“Ron Hansen sketches a delicate portrait of Hopkins. . . . He brings his usual magic to the task.” —Chicago Tribune
“A shifting, sympathetic depiction of piety and piety's torments . . . a brave meditation on religious experience.” —The News and Observer
