Industry Reviews
"...the tension that he's held throughout the 200 pages is, one may almost say, the moral aura of this difficultly achieved rapport between civilized man and slaying bird....One rubs one's eyes at last and says, 'All this for a bird,' and tries to shake things back into their proper proportions; but they refuse to be shaken back; things are not quite as they were: somewhere beyond the welfare state a hawk stoops to his kill and a man has by infinite pains entered the realm of the bird and shared the vision of that blazing eye."
