Review
With this sprawling, beautiful novel that touches on everything from slavery to the shadows of unremembered memory, Chang and Eng have inspired another winner.
Exceptionally beautiful...the power of language and of reflection on the nature of connection is...essential, and compelling.
Slouka writes with the bare-bones ferocity of Jerzy Kosinski and the visual intensity of John Updike.
Few books in recent memory have offered as much in terms of fully-formed characters, and fewer authors share Slouka's gift to render the extraordinary in ordinary terms without sacrificing its potency.
A poetic rumination on love and family...We are constantly moved to tears by Slouka's spare and heart-breaking novel.
Exceptional...fascinating...powerful.
A gifted stylist.
