Four Roses In Three Acts - Reviews

You'd have thought The Torrents of Spring had rendered further parodic visions of the twenties impossible, but you'd have been wrong. Four Roses in Three Acts is both economical and wonderfully sustained.

—Hugh Kenner

Four Roses in Three Acts brightened my whole day. I loved Gertrude Stein "genuising;" I loved Hemingway walking the poodle and Zelda throwing her what-nots around. It's a sparkling, fresh, exuberant book, and Franklin Mason is a very funny writer.

—Anne Tyler
