When the Mask Slips
An old hand at postmodern literary play, Ciabattari is one writer who could claim charter membership in the Pirandello and Calvino schools of literary humor, and if his first three Rizzoli books were not sufficiently persuasive, you'd have no choice but to recognize his important contribution to literature by the time you got to his latest Rizzoli novel, When the Mask Slips.

Praise for this book
Critical Acclaim for Mark Ciabattari's Rizzoli novels
"A paean to the special 'city grace' that prevails amid chaos, Ciabattari's clever and cartoonish novel is a delightful postmodern romp, more Calvino than Kafka."-Kirkus Reviews
"A delightfully improbable blending of Borges and Woody Allen."-Booklist
"Rizzoli is an anxious anti-hero . . . an urban everyman. [His] . . . funny, satirical, vignette-like dreams [show] the influence of media on our perception and point to our mediated lives . . ."-Lynne Tillman, The New York Times Book Review
"With unerring irony, Ciabattari paints a shimmering, disorienting world in which the lines between dreams and reality are systematically skewed."-Publishers Weekly
