"A fascinating work . . . possessing extraordinary power. Masterful."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"Brilliant, cranky, and eccentric, and the narrative passages are some
of the most thrilling ever written." --Library Journal
"Some of the author's most enduring themes--notably, sexual jealousy and
betrayal--are present. . . . The narration shows traces of writers as
various as Joyce and Beckett, e.e. cummings and J.P. Donleavy." --The
Washington Post
"The Abbott and Costello meet Samuel Beckett dialogue . . . makes you
laugh out loud." --The Village Voice
