A novel that thinks and doubts and rethinks everything you've ever thought and doubted and rethought about a novel.

- JACOB BACHARACH, The Rumpus

Beautifully witty and avant in its refusal to stoop to any kind of cliché, while dismantling clichés as though they are kitschy cuckoo clocks and reassembling them into room-sized set-pieces one can walk through.... I can still remember laughing while reading it; laughing on the U-Bahn and at my desk and laughing about it even, at odd moments, without the book in hand.

- STEVEN AUGUSTINE, The Imperialist

It is not ... despite that nightmare ending, a sombre book; on the contrary, it is bracingly literary in its references, and above all very funny in its wit and linguistic invention. No synopsis could adequately describe it, and this review doesn't attempt to do so. It attempts only to encourage you to read it, slowly and enjoy the ride....
