Customer Reviews

I like it very much.

I have frankly never seen Modernism addressed so lucidly and exhaustively, and yet so concisely, as Dan Schwarz does in "Reconfiguration." It clears up many, many symbolical and psychological riddles that I thought I would never have a satisfactory handle on. But as for his sentences... I've frankly never seen their equal! The competing complexity and simplicity is sheer genius. The literary student of any level would do themself an extreme injustice to miss this one!

The highest praise!!
