RaveLos Angeles Review of BooksThe book, like its characters, finds meaning in this undefinable space between two worlds ... Salesses might not have written his novel for one specific audience, but the book does challenge whatever audience it finds to engage with storytelling styles that do not adhere to their expected standards ... Despite The Sense of Wonder being a work of fiction, it gives us an unusually, and at times unnervingly, intimate portrait of a person who is supposedly the object of intense scrutiny.
