Editorial Reviews
Review
"I make no distinction between fact, fiction, history, reminiscence and fantasy, for the imagination inhabits them all. -James Dickey, in a letter to Gore Vidal; "What Van Ness has done in gathering Dickey's letters for publication and his brilliant, insightful commentary clarify who James Dickey is in literature and letters. The One Voice of James Dickey is more than simply a collection of Dickey's letters. The commentaries provide an important guide to understanding Dickey and his biography against the background of contemporary writers and writing."-Sue Walker
