From Publishers Weekly
The awkward pun in the title of this comic novel suggests much about what lies within. In Angels Prostate Fall by Marshall Terry, an English professor at a Texas university, has prostate cancer and describes in elaborate detail the operation he undergoes and its aftermath (" `Here's your diaper,' the nurse Amanda says. `You had better wear it home' "). Terry writes with verve and style, but his subject limits the reach of his tale. Fellow sufferers will appreciate his humorous meditations on his condition, but others may prefer to steer clear.
