| About The Author | Steve Tesich wrote many plays and screenplays, including the Academy Award-winning Breaking Away and The World According to Garp. His first novel, Summer Crossing, was published in 1982. He died in 1996 at the age of fifty-three. |
Karoo has all the ingredients of a truly great novel. Its plot has the pathos of a Greek tragedy and enough twists and turns to satisfy the most avid Raymond Chandler fan. The characters come alive as soon as they appear on the page. Fantastic |
|
| Other text | Utterly wonderful… This novel does supremely what novels were invented to do – it confronts the most unbearable sadness with a comic exhilaration that makes you almost pleased that life is tragic |
