Welcome to Hard Times
Honor the Writing: I write this review having now spent a couple of months going one by one through E.L.Doctorow's books. God, I'm glad this man was given the time to write. I have a couple of more novels to go and were it not for the fact that I can [... more]

Ragtime
History? Fiction? Fictory? Who cares, it's great!: Give this one a few chapters to hook you, as Doctorow's style here won't suit everyone's tastes. There is very little dialogue, and often he employs repetitive staccato sentences in brief summary [... more]

City of God
Amazon.com Review: You want ambition? E.L. Doctorow's City of God starts off not merely with a bang but with the big bang itself, that "great expansive flowering, a silent flash into being in a second or two of the entire outrushing universe." [... more]
