This review is from: Acts of Light (Hardcover)

Here is a volume unexpected. My library bills it as "young adult" which works if this is how ED is viewed, though immortal child could be a better fit. The essay is on par with fine criticism/biography and the illustrations, especially the paintings, are quite exquisite. I've sent it as gift to a special friend.
