Review
" Roth's most controlled and elegant work...serious, intelligent, dramatic, acutely vivid, slyly and wickedly funny...seductive far beyond its brief efficiency." -- "Village Voice
"" I had only to read the two opening sentences to realize that I was once again in the hands of a superbly endowed storyteller." -- Robert Towers, "The New York Review of Books"
" Further evidence that Roth can do practically anything with fiction. His narrative power-- the ability to delight the reader simultaneously with the telling and the tale-- is superb." -- "Washington Post"
