| | Amazon.fr : Flying Crows: Livres en anglais: Jim Lehrer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | Shifting narrators as well as settings between 1933 and 1997, Lehrer's 14th novel is an expertly researched, warmly told tale, rich in suspense and drama. |
 | | Even though its epic scope spans all but a few years of the 20th century, Jim Lehrer's latest book, Flying Crows, is the almost painfully intimate story of a young man and a much older one who, for a brief time, were co-inmates at the Missouri State Hospital for the Insane at Somerset. |
 | | The inmates are soothed with long and pointless sessions in the bathtub, trussed up with leather straps, shocked by electric probes, tranquilized with padded baseball bats, threatened with death and vivisection; and always, every day, they rock endlessly on the porch in dark pine chairs that go bump. |
