Review

"Brilliant." --New York Times Book Review
"We have many fine writers in America, but we do not have even a single one of the stature and exemplary ambition of Peter Esterhazy. . . . [O]ne of the finest explorations of going on a journey and of the idea of what it means to go anywhere. . . . Among the best fiction of 1998." --Los Angeles Times Book Review
"A pleasantly delirious romp through the fields of language."
--The Washington Times
