About this title

Review:

'Sharp, elegant prose ... It recalls, in tone, Vladimir Nabokov. The language is, by turns, delicately allusive and rich, even ripely comic' D.J. Enright, T.L.S. (TLS)

'Should appeal to anyone who likes Italo Calvino or Paul Auster' Michael Dirda, Washington Times. (Washington Times)
