"I am humbled by Dreamer and grateful for it. It is a transcendent, brilliant book . . . No other novelist among us today has quite Charles Johnson's philosophical weight, intellectual force or spiritual understanding . . . This is a book to sustain us - black and white, all of us - and so powerfully wrought as to endure in our literature so long as our literature itself endures"
