Review
It combines the exquisite palpability of dreams with an earthy sense of irony...an uncanny talent for defining the boundaries of sanity and making madness palpable....A virtuoso piece of writing. - New York Times Book Review; ""The reader must move to exotic places, to Burma in the beginning, to New York squalor in the middle, to a mental ward for an affirmative finale. The reader must move almost without transitions but with bags of empathy, crammed full. Must move, will be moved."" - Los Angeles Times
