...Hertogenbosch, who worked tirelessly for a more liberal church attitude, calling birth control a matter of conscience, and defending priests who renounced their vows in order to marry, all of which made him an urgent voice for reform during the ecumenical Council; of a brain tumor; in Tilburg, The Netherlands...
...winning the $10,000 Delta Prize, this short but flatulent novel was the unanimous choice of three eminent judges-Critic Leslie Fiedler, and Novelists Mary McCarthy and Walter van Tilburg Clark, who is quoted as having found it "gigantically laughable."

There are deft, complex exceptions, such as Kentucky's unjustly forgotten Elizabeth Madox (The Time of Man) Roberts, Nevada-bred Walter Van Tilburg (The Ox-Bow Incident) Clark. But generally the regional writer is a landscape artist, pure and psychologically all too simple. What is best in his books is his sense of the soil, of the unspoken drama of work or conflict on the earth. In two new regional novels of the old West...
