"By the bold device of telling two stories in terms of each other (one of Margery Kempe and Jesus, and the other of a twentieth-century love affair), Robert Gluck has produced a book without precedent. This novel brings to mind the huge wings of a painted angel--a texture of brilliant richness covered regularly with small, detailed shadows of implication." --Thom Gunn
"At once embracing and thwarting two worlds, two centuries, two sensibilities, what a subtle and powerful amalgam is Margery! Gluck's exquisitely controlled, sensuously textured writing evokes a deeply integrated ecstatic vision that in the end spares us nothing--being nuanced and brutal, passionate and colored with levity, elegant and outrageous." --Lydia Davis
"I, for one, find much to admire in contemporary gay authors. One of my favorites is Robert Gluck." --Edmund White
"Gluck reminds one of Genet and the transmutation of sex into something beyond sex. Not since Genet have we seen such pure love of the body and soul--seen as one palpable flesh." --William S. Burroughs
