Mr. Jack and the Greenstalks

While others have drained the smoggy mystique of the garment center for its more robustly available elements--from schmooz to showroom sex -- Horowitz illuminates the way of the merchantman with a lasar probe and kultur recognitions…. For as Philip had confessed to Howie -- ''I''m an end product a result not a goddamn cause'' and love is an adjustment an arrangement not a beginning. . . . In probably the best novel that will ever be written about the garment center. Horowitz in its own words shows classmanship. - Kirkus Review
