Praise for this book
Delightful and original--funny and bitter and serious.--Iris Murdoch
The Adventures of Mao on the Long March provides an intelligent, taut, and entertaining change from conventional novels. Its substance is satisfyingly solid and satisfyingly mysterious.--John Updike "The New Yorker"
A work of genius and by far the best 'post-modernist' novel...Mao stands alone as a masterpiece of its kind.--Oscar Hijuelos
Frederic Tuten has written a violently hilarious book. The Adventures of Mao is soda pop, a cold towel, a shady spot under a tree for culture-clogged foot soldiers on the American long march.--Susan Sontag
