Three Early Novels

Price is David Chacko's brilliant first novel....His people are extraordinary....Chacko constructs his story with deep primordial formations pressing upward from underneath: relationships between generations, incidents of accident and surprise, questions of heredity and attainder; obsessive deadly games; all kinds of buried topography that shape the surface landscape.  There's no better way to write."  -- Chicago Tribune

An outstanding piece of work with a smash ending. -- The New York Times
