About this title

Review:

"[Ducornet] writes like a stunned time-traveler, testifying in breathless fragments to exotic ages that have gone or never were.... It's startling and refreshing to encounter a writer whose work insists so relentlessly upon the magic of making tales." -- Robert Chatain, "Chicago Tribune"

"Ducornet's novel is both incoherent and astonishing, a complex fantasia redolent of Swift and Borges, but stranger than both." -- "The London Times"

" "Phosphor in Dreamland" is one of the finest persuasions to date for the life of the erotic, the sensual.... Rikki Ducornet is a writer whose work deserves our joyous attention." -- Los Angeles Times
