Review:
"Singer is the most magical of writers, transforming reality into art with seemingly effortless sleight of hand. His deceptively spare prose has a pristine clarity that is stunning in its impact."
--"The New York Times" "[Singer's] triumph here is much like Dostoyevsky's in his later years when he wrote A Raw Youth and tapped the mad feel of his teens.... Done with gusto and panache."
--"Kirkus Reviews" (Starred Review) "Vintage Singer, a welcome addition to his oeuvre."
--"Publishers Weekly
