This memoir covers the public aspect of his life in Taos with grace and insight, but what we love about many memoirs -- the interaction of outer and inner lives, and the complexity of the conceitedness -- is not fully developed here. In that sense, Frank Waters remains the private, mystical persona we sense behind his novels. -- ForeWord Magazine
