Industry Reviews "There is in Tabucchi's stories the touch of the true magician, who astonishes us by never working too hard for his subtle, elusive, and remarkable effects." San Francisco Examiner - Tom Dowling
"I, too, speak of ambiguities, but it's not so much that I like them: I am driven rather to seek them out. Misunderstandings, uncertainties, belated understandings, useless remorse...all these irresistibly fascinate me, as if they constituted a vocation, a sort of stigmata." Note - Antonio Tabucchi
