Recollections of the Golden Triangle challenges the reader to find his own meaning in its descriptions, clues, and contradictions, and to play detective by assembling the pieces of the fictional puzzle. &“If you make the effort [to read Recollections of a Golden Triangle], you will have a richer and more rewarding experience than you would reading a conventional mystery story.&” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch &“A sense of atmosphere and a power of representation that at best make one feel that one is looking over an artist&’s shoulder with one eye on the canvas and the other on the reality that he is sketching.&” ―The Times
