Synopses & Reviews
Review
"An astonishing book, unsentimental, baleful, yet oddly affecting. I have never read anything like it." Witold Rybczynski
Review
"With Holy Land, poet-historian D.J. Waldie has produced a brilliant period piece about suburban LA, an American classic which shines with the poignancy, loss, and optimism produced by ages of discovery. He fuses the universal and particular as artistically as Nicholson Baker." Peter Theroux
Review
"D.J. Waldie's Holy Land is like no other book I've ever read: part celebration, part elegy, part poetry, part history, moving and heartbreaking and mysterious all at once. This is one of the best works of nonfiction I have ever read." Bret Lott
