Reader reviews for Imaginations: Kora in Hell / Spring and All / The Descent of Winter / The Great American Novel / A Novelette & Other Prose
Review summary
Readers widely applaud this early, experimental collection for its audacious blend of prose and poetry, its modernist drive to make it new, and its distinctly American voice. Many describe it as brilliant, endlessly rereadable, and especially praise Spring and All; teachers and working writers find it energizing and instructive. Others, deterred by its fragmentation and improvisatory form, call it random, derivative, or nonsensical. Overall, it’s seen as a seminal but demanding work whose rewards deepen with rereading, though it’s not for every general reader.

From the publisher

These are pivotal and seminal works, books in which a great writer was charting the course he later would follow, experimenting freely, boldly searching for a new kind of prose style to express 'the power of the imagination to hold human beings to life and propel them onward.'
