About this title

Review:

A novel of blazing imaginative and intellectual force. Salman Rushdie
To describe this novel as spine-tingling in its indescribable poetic effect would be to trivialize its profoundly tragic theme. Say then that it is heart-stunning. The New York Times
Astonishing . . . elegantly experimental yet quite warm . . . A forthright sensuality mixed with a fine historical feeling for the nightmare moments in modern history, a dreamlike fluidity and quickness. John Updike, The New Yorker
A dazzler that lingers in the mind. People "
