New edition of the 1970 debut novel by Donald Newlove (1928-2021).
Shortly after it's initial publication, The New York Times wrote a glowing review of The Painter Gabriel, calling it an "extraordinary novel." TIME Magazine hailed it as "one of the best fictional studies of madness, descent and purification that any American has written since Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. And the Los Angeles Free Press described it as "an extraordinary work of art, apocalyptic in subject and masterly in execution."
