Synopsis
"Another of Coelho's spiritual journeys, this time by the 24-year-old protagonist who, after a failed suicide attempt, rediscovers in an insane asylum in Slovenia the preciousness and precariousness of life. Costa's translation is competent, but cannot save Coelho's novel from its by now familiar and conventionally inspirational tone and message"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Industry Reviews
"A touching, if overexplicit, fable about learning to live in the face of death....Regrettably, however, preaching the need to live your own life in the face of death and social regimentation, can't resist capping [his] often poignant stories with sanity-is-the-true-madness insights out of R. D. Laing...."
