Critical Praise

“With THE SPORT OF KINGS, C. E. Morgan has delivered a masterpiece. Rich, deep and ambitious, this book is, by any standard, a Great American Novel.” 

—Philipp Meyer, author of THE SON

“A contemporary masterpiece… A novel of vaulting ambition [and] a novel about vaulting ambition… In its poetic splendor and moral seriousness, THE SPORT OF KINGS bears the traces of Faulkner, Morrison and McCarthy. Remarkably, the novel stands up to such august comparisons... There are too many brilliant sentences and richly imagined characters to describe.” 

—Anthony Domestico, San Francisco Chronicle

“With this extraordinary work, C. E. Morgan moves into the front rank of contemporary writers.” 

—Wendy Smith, Newsday

“An audacious fiction that breathes new life into the American canon.” 

—The Telegraph
