"Majestic . . . epic . . . vital . . . a necessary piece in a uniquely American mosaic." --The New York Times Book Review
"Jeffrey Lent's first novel, In the Fall, earned him comparisons to Cormac McCarthy and William Faulkner. With Lost Nation, we'll have to go back a little further, say, to Euripides...(a) remarkable tragedy." -- The Christian Science Monitor
“Family-fracturing secrets are at the heart of Lent’s luminous third novel, a transcendent story about the healing power of love and art…. This sympathetic depiction of a decent man wrestling with his demons while deciding whether to revive an old love or open himself to a new lover is … magisterial and beautifully written.” --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"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
