Advance Praise

"The Snail's Castle by Mark Gordon is contemporary literary fiction at its finest. It introduces Jungian theories about psychological individuation, gives voice to the bourgeois aspirations of immigrant Jews, and makes ping-pong matches seem as riveting as NCAA March Madness college basketball games. There is a refreshing intimacy about the characters, which draws the reader inexorably into the mix. At 296 pages The Snail's Castle is a pleasure to read. This is a no-brainer: five stars." --Palmetto Review
