Review:
"Brilliantly playful . . . More like a joint effort by Henry Fielding and John Barth, it is clever indeed but also riotous, melodramatic and erotic, full of lore and lewdness and crackling with ideas and exhilarated imagination."-Chicago Tribune
PRAISE FOR" A CASE OF CURIOSITIES"
"What John Fowles did for the 19th century with The French Lieutenant's Woman and Umberto Eco did for the 14th with The Name of the Rose . . . Kurzweil now does for the late 18th century with A Case of Curiosities. [A] captivating novel."-San Francisco Chronicle
