Industry Reviews
"Elegant, cosmopolitan, inventive, and disquieting; his writing is, paradoxically, sensuous and economical."
McKnight
"On the whole, the novel is an unlikely delight."
Chomsky
"You may sometimes want to snort with exasperation and send Tabucchi's book skirling across the room. But, then again, when did you last find a novel this interesting?"
