Opis

Wallace Markfield, author of To An Early Grave, Teitlebaum's Window, You Could Live If They Let You says: "Only Earl Thompson's Garden of Sand has come as close to rendering the hands-on hurt and horror of a young American life." Robert D. Crozier, Ph.D., Hemingway scholar states: "DICKY, RICHARD, AND I is a marvelous novel, beautifully written structurally with unbroken suspense and its premise, ever present of tragedy. The style and wit are thoroughly fascinating, endlessly pleasing, and even awesome in power. I really savored the pathos. DICKY, RICHARD AND I is a psychological thriller detailing the metamorphosis of a young, abused, and battered child into that of a multiple murderer and personality. It is the depiction of a boy subjected to a curious mix of care and cruelty by his deranged mother. Magic, hypnosis, and ventriloquism are the cogent symptoms of a disease that lead this young man to discover his divided selves. The author gives us a compelling look at madness in the making. DICKY, RICHARD, AND I is the revised and expanded version of No Stranger Than I, originally published in 1991 by Hudson View Press. This new novel paves the way for the upcoming titles The Signing and The Triumvirate as part of the Robert Redler and Liza Downs adventure trilogy.
