Review:
"Brautigan's comic touch is predictably unerring and the hilarious narrative development is studded with wry surreal gags" (New Statesman)
"As always with Mr Brautigan, the more preposterous the situation, the funnier the book" (Sunday Telegraph)
"A born writer . . . he can't be dull" (Sunday Times)
"His style and wit transmit so much energy that energy itself becomes the message. Only a hedonist could cram so much life onto a single page" (Newsweek)
"Delicate, fantastic and very funny . . . A highly individual style, a fertile, active inventiveness . . . It's cool, joyous, lucid and pleasant to read"
"Defies reality with complete success an original and charming view of the world"
"If you like a little eccentricity and humour in your fiction, this novel of tiny punchy chapters is a revelation" (Bath Life)
