Review:
"Underneath Mr. Esterházy's verbal wizardry, impudent humor and smart-aleck antics is a stinging indictment of Hungary's recently deposed regime." --New York Times Book Review
"Esterházy pays homage to Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal in a deceptively whimsical novel that addresses deadly serious questions with stylistic panache and intellectual verve." --Kirkus Reviews
"His world is one of verbal pyrotechnics, where the story is often the language itself. . . . Esterházy is a brilliant stylist rather than a plot merchant, and the book progresses through a series of shifting perspectives and changing tones rather than action. It is deeply allusive and playful. . . . The is the frontline of Hungarian literature." --The Times
