The Player's Boy

"The novel echoes in a variety of compelling ways the life of the author, which on its own clearly deserves scripting."

~Yale Review

""The Player's Boy has all the possessive, invading qualities of a dream. The book has great beauty. But the book has not only beauty, it has a strange and moving wisdom. The end is a masterpiece of writing and of terror. The whole story is so told that we feel someone had returned from beyond the grave to tell it.""

~Yale Review

""A striking and beautifully written narrative. Bryher is a fine artist with words, extraordinarily skillful in her magical ability to capture the essence of an individual emotion and the quality of a national mood.""
