...affluent postwar years. The book ends in the fire and blood of Detroit's 1967 summer riot. On the surface, the book is hard, cold and terrifying. Its core, however, is molten with sympathy for the struggles of the major characters. The result is Urban Gothic, a type of naturalism saved from the simple cataloguing of disasters by the author's ability to transform the mysteries of experience into vital characterizations...
...danger. Living in Canada, the Smiths remain almost entirely American in their concerns. Joyce Carol-though she is against the Viet Nam war -has little sympathy with the kind of radical who, she feels, confuses personal frustrations with public problems.

Later Riad denied saying anything about direct talks, but he did say that Israel and Egypt were engaged in "Rhodes-type" negotiations. This approach was used in the 1948-49 peace talks on the island of Rhodes, where the Arabs and Israelis, for the record at least, never directly faced each other. Proposals were shuttled between the two sides by Dr. Ralph Bunche-a role that could now be played by Dr. Gunnar...
