Review:
"Roth's most controlled and elegant work...serious, intelligent, dramatic, acutely vivid, slyly and wickedly funny...seductive far beyond its brief efficiency." --Village Voice "I had only to read the two opening sentences to realize that I was once again in the hands of a superbly endowed storyteller." --Robert Towers, The New York Review of Books "Further evidence that Roth can do practically anything with fiction. His narrative power--the ability to delight the reader simultaneously with the telling and the tale--is superb." --Washington Post
