BYU Studies Says...
Shelah Mastny Miner, writing in the latest issue of BYU Studies says:
"In Death of a Disco Dancer Clark is able to do something that few LDS authors have achieved so far... Clark’s book is about Mormons but not necessarily for a Mormon audience
alone. He talks about Mormon elements in a familiar way, but while the
book is about subjects that are central to the Mormon experience (eternal
families, repentance, progression through the ranks of the priesthood),
they are presented in a universal way. The book is tight and well edited, rich
and complex, and totally compelling. I read the 300-plus page book in less
than a day, not because I had to, but because I wanted more. I hope Clark
gives us more."
