Dawson's best work!, April 22 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Two Penny Lane a Novel (Paperback)
Fielding Dawson has called the "Penny Lane" series transitional work. They are in fact the last of his first-person(al) autobiographical prose, but transitional? I think not. They are, especially "Two Penny Lane," a stunning apex to his work. The Metropolitan world of two writer friends, as told in dialogue, memory and dream, is brought to life with such crystal-clear language, and at times with startling shifts, so as to disarm the uninitiated reader. But being stunned into this world is a sublime event. You will see yourself at the end of the bar, in apartments, and at the ballgame with Lucky and Guy. Unable to contain yourself you will interact with them, in their dialogues and experiences.
