About this ebook

Selected as one of the New York Times Book Review’s Best Books of the Year and honored worldwide, Edgar Allan was an immediate sensation when it was first published.
 
“This is not a novel about prejudice or race relations or brotherhood, or anything too simple. It is about parents and children, young people and older people, about love and failure, loss and discovery, coming to terms with our self and others. Edgar Allan . . . is a work of Art.” Its value has not been diminished over time, and readers throughout the world contact the author regularly to discuss their reactions to it. A straight-through read, it is full of anxiety, excitement, suspense, and finally, understanding.
