'The Long Christmas Dinner' pushes the boundaries of time, showcasing the lives of multiple generations of the Bayard family, and exploring the customs and generational identities of American life. “Wilder’s tone is dry, fond; if God were to dabble in anthropology, and the recording angels to write with wry humor and infinite tolerance of human folly, this is how the holy books would read" (Jeremy McCarter, The New York Times).
