New York Tribune: Decidedly the first notable novel of the great war is Will Levington Comfort’s Red Fleece. Comfort sees in the moujik’s dreamy soul the seed of a spiritual regeneration of the world.
The Dial: As a stylist, Mr. Comfort has never done better work. “His clothing smelled of death; and one morning before the smoke fell, he watched the sun shining upon the smoke-clad hills. That moment the thought held him that the pine-trees were immortal, and men just the dung of the earth.” It is not given to many men to write such English as that.
Boston Transcript: This is a story written in wireless. It leaves a lightning impression.
New York Times: This novel has one most unusual fault. It is not long enough.
Churchman, New York: By far the most interesting and thoughtful book of fiction springing from the great war.
