註釋

The comprehensive three-volume collection will bring together all of Metcalf's major work, most of it originally published in limited editions by small idealistic presses and now long out-of-print. Volume I includes the complete texts of his early, formative novel, Will West; his monumental breakthrough, Genoa; the quirky Patagoni; the lyrical Apalache; and perhaps his darkest book, The Middle Passage. --Coffee House Press. My excitement and pleasure is such that I would like to emphasize here my very great respect for Paul Metcalf's writing and the unique significance of its publication. Much like his great-grandfather, Herman Melville, Metcalf brings an extraordinary diversity of materials into the complex patterns of analogy and metaphor, to affect a common term altogether brilliant in its imagination. --Robert Creeley. Perhaps it is the fate of voices in advance of their time to be lost in their own. Such is the case with Metcalf. He has a style all his own, constantly and relentlessly renewing itself, utilizing primary source material, poetry, musical notation, and straight narrative. His seems a writing career that needed a certain obscurity in order to remain so boldly adventurous. --Publishers Weekly.
