Review:
"Rick Moody's dark with and unflinching eye for the bathetic render him a particularly appropriate seer for contemporary alienation, and the inevitable--not wholly unjust--comparisons have been made: to Updike, to Cheever, and, more accurately, to Amis fils." --Village Voice
"Marie Darrieussecq is one of the freshest, quirkiest and most radical voices in contemporary French fiction." --Independent
"Roubaud seduces with felicitous--and feline--humor . . . evoking the spirits of his countryman Rabelais, of Flann O'Brien, Jorge Luis Borges, Gilbert Sorrentino, Julio Cortazar, Umberto Eco, Tom Robbins." --Los Angeles Times
