MYSTERIOUS Review/Links
Dallas Morning News
by Terry Pringle.
[MYSTERIOUS WAYS' protagonist] Karl's resolution disturbed me. I wanted to talk sense into him. And it was when that desire hit me that I realized I had been deeply lured into the author's illusion. Davis had seduced me, had nauseated me with Karl's condition, had required of me a series of judgments on issues I usually ignore. I kept thinking, this is only a book, this is only a book, and of course, it is. But it rises to the highest sphere of literature -- it makes the reader consider the totality of his existence and examine all the evidence."

A few MYSTERIOUS words from Misfit...
(1985) 85.02.11
"I met Terry Davis today. He was here to speak about ... 'MYSTERIOUS WAYS'. I've read 'MYSTERIOUS WAYS', I don't know if I ever made any references to it before off hand, but I enjoyed it a lot. Just like he said tonight, it is a book to be read by one person at a time. Just you and the book. A lot of it hits home so hard it's frightening. He's really a nice guy I think I'd like to have him as a teacher."

"Thank you so much for letting me know - let alone for reuniting me with a name from my past. I'm sure he doesn't remember - but a long time ago, Terry came to Topeka West High School and spoke to a book club...I thought he was a wonderful speaker and writer. I'm thrilled to know you have linked to my site.
