"Gorgeous prose, searching intelligence, and keen understanding of our tangled attachments to the past and each other...As usual, this gifted writer aims to challenge, not to console." --The Washington Post

“Truly beautiful . . . The redemptive power of love has filled many a bookshelf. What sets After You’ve Gone apart is the risks it takes.”
—The Christian Science Monitor


“Jeffrey Lent . . . is a warrior of a writer, wrestling with themes like history and love. . . . His writing . . . towers over most anything else in contemporary American literature.”
 —The Chronicle Herald (Canada)

“Lent . . . writes elegant, gorgeous prose. . . . It is a pleasure to surrender to the beauty of the storytelling, to succumb to the force of Lent’s elegiac prose and the lingering effects of this haunting novel.”
 —BookPage

“Intricate and rewarding . . . A closeup view of the loss of innocence of a person and a world . . . [a] vivid depiction of the era. It’s a nice contrast to the aimless youngsters often associated with the lost generation canon.”
—Publishers Weekly
