The SFWA European Hall of Fame - Tapa dura

Quotes on James Morrow's latest novel, "The Last Witchfinder" "Here are storytelling, showmanship, and provocative book-club bait...all rolled into one inventive feat.-- Janet Maslin, "The New York Times" "James Morrow's novel about early American witchcraft pulls off so many dazzling fears of literary magic that in a different century he'd have been burned at the stake ... The result is a fantastical story mixed so cunningly with real-life details that your vision of America's past may never awaken from Morrow's spell." -- "Washington Post Book World" "The book is a treat for history lovers."-- "USA Today"
