William Neal Harrison

COMMENTS ON THE AUTHOR’S WORKS

             Burton and Speke deserves the highest praise. It has a quality that is even rarer than excellence: it is a likable book, one of those uncommon novels that you will carry with you in your imagination long after turning the final page.      – The Nation

            In a Wild Sanctuary is sensitive and full of suspense. . . a superb and remarkable voyage into a world of psychological and social morality.  Time

            Harrison is that rare novelist who can write equally well of action and ideas. The New York Times

           He is not relating curious anecdotes; he’s creating a world. The Buddha in Malibu reminds us once more how truly big William Harrison’s talent is. The Dallas Morning News

            Though the political geography of The Blood Latitudes may seem at times melodramatic Harrison presents it with a voice that is as compelling in its restraint as it is authentic in its details. The Texas Observer

            Harrison is a compelling storyteller with a sure touch. The Washington Post Book World

          Harrison’s characters live on the fringes of . . . illusion and personal disorientation… In each protagonist we catch a glimpse of American obsessions: our longing for fame, our preoccupation with the future, our confusion over love, and our raw ambitions. Book Digest
