Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Alan sanded the house on Wales Avenue."
Industry Reviews "[T]hough his writing's often witty, Doctorow's satire manages not to overpower the humane, thoughtful insights at the story's center. A fantastically weird read."
"In this inventive parable about tolerance and acceptance...[Doctorow] demonstrates how memorably the outrageous and the everyday can coexist." (starred review) Publishers Weekly (03/07/2005)
"[W]ith the potential to please both SF and mainstream readers....Smart, clever, delightful stuff;...likely to be one of the better non-magic-and-dragon fantasies this year." Kirkus (03/01/2005)
