"Powerful, enigmatic, imaginative, and handled with artistry. . .One of the better modern attempts at describing hell."- The Washington Post Book World "Reminiscent in many ways of Orwell's 1984. . .Auster creates within these pages a place so real it could be our own country, perhaps our very own city."
- The Atlanta Journal Constitution
