As fine a book as you'll find,

This review is from: There Is a Tree More Ancient Than Eden (Paperback)
For several years this book was lost, and then it had a resurgence as it was reprinted in 1998. Now it seems to have faded once again, which is understandable. It's dense and difficult to read and Leon Forrest never had a critic to champion his cause the way Ishmael Reed had Henry Louis Gates. That said, let's keep it our little secret. People don't write books like this anymore, which is the loss of readers everywhere. First published in 1973, the book has the slimmest of plots but its imagery and emotional intensity hold it together. It's postmodern and human at the same time. It's a book that defies easy description, and its best summary is the book itself.
