Industry Reviews
"This brief novel, so spare and lucid (like the best of Gide), burning with wit (like the pages from Voltaire), is a ... monologue on the human condition."
McGuane
"Uniquely Camus. Beneath its wit, elegance, and irony there is no lack of intelligence, troubled earnestness, and perhaps even the moral anguish of the true religieux."
McGuane
