About this title

Review:

“Magic is everywhere in Block’s lyrical and resonant fables. At once modern and mythic, her series deserves as much space as it can command of daydream nation’s shrinking bookshelves.” (Village Voice)

“A poetic series of books celebrating love, art, and the imagination, all in hyper-lyrical language.” (Spin)

“Transcendent.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Ms. Block’s far-ranging free association has been controlled and shaped...with sensual characters. The language is inventive Californian hip, but the patterns are compactly folkloristic and the theme is transcendent.” (New York Times Book Review)
