Review:
"Remarkable . . . A shadow of death darkens this book, but it is a beautiful shadow and a luminescent darkness." --Josef Skvorecky, The New Republic

"This is one of the finest fantastic collections since Borges's Ficciones." --Brendan Lemon, The Nation

"... the [title] story is one of the most moving I have ever read, a testament to both the power and the weakness of literature and human memory; it's both an elegy and a howl of impotence, resonating in more dimensions than the two of the printed page." --The Guardian

"[Kis's] pen, often literally verging into eternity, does to his characters what nearly every known creed aspires to do to the human soul: it extends their existence, it erodes our sense of death's impenetrability." --Joseph Brodsky
