REVIEWS
History revisioned, turned inside out ... Bisson's wild and wonderful imagination has taken some strange turns to arrive at such a destination. Madison Smartt Bell, Anisfield-Wolf Award winner and author of Devil's Dream
McKinley Cantor and Ward Moore move over! The South has risen again--this time as a brilliantly illuminated black utopia. Terry Bisson's novel touched my heart, brought tears to my eyes, and kept me thinking about it for days after finishing the book. It's an astonishing feat of rewriting history into something truly wonderful. Edward Bryant, co-author of Phoenix Without Ashes and winner of two Nebula awards for short stories Stone, and gIANTS.
A talent for evoking the joyful, vertiginous experiences of a world at fundamental turning points. Publishers Weekly
Few works have moved me as deeply, as thoroughly, as Terry Bisson's Fire On The Mountain... With this single poignant story, Bisson molds a world as sweet as banana cream pies, and as briny as hot tears. Mumia Abu-Jamal, death row prisoner and author of Live From Death Row, from the Introduction.
