- Summary:
- Fiction."In his beautifully achieved collection... Wendell Mayo explores the hard truths of the post-Iron Curtain era. Through the person of Paul Rood, who takes his enthusiasm for Wait Whitman to a country that has known only the depredations of Nazi and Soviet tyranny for half a century, the reader enters into the recognition of what tyranny, with its attendant corruption, economic exploitation, and cynicism do to the human spirit... It is a book of great humanity and splendid prose" (Gladys Swan). .".. a marvelous experience. "In Lituanian Wood" brings the reader a profound, ambitious, and complex vision of a part of the world few of us know... a tare fiction, executed with equally rare skill and compassion" (Gordon Weaver).
