Media Reviews
"When Banks...presents his material directly and dramatically, he reveals himself as a powerful and sometimes poetic writer who knows the texture of the things he describes...The grimness is redeemed...by the sympathetic insight which the author brings to the hapless Wade." -- Robert Towers
-- New York Review of Books
"[Banks's] nine previous novels and story collections can be viewed as a painstaking-and in places, a very successful-progress toward 'Affliction'...The drive of [this book's] plot is intense through the final pages...[Banks] began his career divided between a common life subject matter and an experimental style. Subject has obviously won out." -- Sven Birkerts
"What makes 'Affliction' remarkable is that Banks makes a cowardly, violent man profoundly understandable, as Dreiser did with Clyde Griffiths in 'An American Tragedy'."
-- Newsweek
