“Lore Segal may have come closer than anyone to writing The Great American Novel,” New York Times Book Review, 1985.
"She's Ilka Weissnix, a young Jewish refugee from Hitler's Europe, newly arrived in the United States. He's Carter Bayoux, her first a middle-aged, hard-drinking black intellectual. Lore Segal's brilliant novel is the story of their love affair―one of the funniest and saddest in modern fiction."
