Synopsis

An "intelligent, incisive" (Washington Post) parable about order and chaos by "one of the greatest modern novelists" (A. S.

Winner of the Pegasus Prize for Literature. Translated by Adrienne Dixon. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book. Harvest in Translation series

About this title

Review:

'Sharp, elegant prose ... It recalls, in tone, Vladimir Nabokov. The language is, by turns, delicately allusive and rich, even ripely comic' D.J. Enright, T.L.S. (TLS)

'Should appeal to anyone who likes Italo Calvino or Paul Auster' Michael Dirda, Washington Times. (Washington Times)
