Review:
"An entertaining and darkly comic novel, a novel given weight and ballast by the pressure of recent history."  --"The New York Times"

"Boyd has created an important and complex character in a vividly evoked series of settings. . . . He has written a subtle and provocative history of our time." --"Los Angeles Times Book Review"
"Entertaining and intellectually engaging." --"Time"
