Praise for The Flaming Corsage
“Contains more dramatic events, bright dialogue, and strong characters than most novels twice its length…Kennedy’s best novel so far.”—TIME
“Absolutely dazzling…when this author writes about Albany, N.Y., he is, in fact, holding up a mirror to all of American history…[his] fictional terrain can be compared to the Faulknerian South in its complex richness.”—The Washington Post
“Powerful…with vivid characterizations, dead-on dialogue and brilliantly imagined scenes…his most commanding performance since his prize-winning Ironweed.”—The New York Times
“A thrilling descent into the nightmare of history…A tale of two cities, both named Albany, and two aspirations: to rise socially and to remain loyal to your origins.”—The Boston Book Review
“A subtle and ultimately dazzling book by an American master.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Kennedy has made Albany his, as Dickens made London and Proust Paris and Chandler Los Angeles….One of the finest living American novelists.”—Thomas Flanagan
