Professional Reviews

  New York Review of Books: "PARADISE captures the peripatetic, often interrupted quality of a traveler's thoughts: old worries...are subsumed in new distractions....About pigs and tourists, McMurtry is amusing. But as he ponders the similarity between his parents' emotional isolation and the isolation of Gauguin's native bride....PARADISE takes on a predominantly darker tone....In PARADISE..., the journey [is] so pleasant and involving that we barely notice where we are until that last page, that last paragraph, which leads us right up to death."
