"Amazing, moving and lovable" (New Statesman)
"The finest novel to appear in French since Beckett's trilogy" (Times Literary Supplement)
"Very funny and very sad... A treasure-chest of stories, something to be enjoyed by anyone who has ever responded to works on the same scale and in the same spirit as Rabelais and Chaucer and Sterne" (Scotsman)
