"[T]he muse hovering over I'LL LET YOU GO is the great Charles Dickens, with nods and winks along the way to Tom Wolfe, Evelyn Waugh and Proust. Not only is the byzantine story line decidedly in the manner of Dickens but many of the characters...seem to have been inspired by people from BLEAK HOUSE, GREAT EXPECTATIONS, and OLIVER TWIST....Mr. Wagner delineates his characters with such sympathy and verve, such a sharp eye for the status details that reveal their social standing...that they become palpable human beings, real in their griefs and yearnings and illusions....[Attests] not only to Mr. Wagner's range as a writer--his ability to write with affecting sincerity as well as satiric glee--but also to his power as a storyteller to beguile."Wagner, Bruce is the author of 'I'll Let You Go' with ISBN 9780812968477 and ISBN 0812968476.
