I wrote Princes in Exile, about a prodigy who confronts his own mortality at a summer camp for kids with cancer, when I was twenty. It was first published in hardcover by Beaufort Books in New York. It was later published in paperback by General Publishing in Canada. It was translated into German, Japanese, Dutch, Danish and Russian. In 1991 it was made into a film. As Beaufort and General Publishing are no longer in business, I am publishing it here.Thank you very much indeed for Princes in Exile, which I found to be a remarkable and very moving novel. It manages to say a lot about life, and even about the relationship of literature to life, without being pious, didactic, or self-conscious—no mean feat considering its subject. The final lines are extraordinary—but then, so is the careful way the narrative builds up to them. All in all, I think more highly of the book than of anything which has come across my desk in some time, including works with far greater pretensions. —Northrop Frye
