Literary Review
"What an extraordinary little book this is....[A] piece of American grotesque that ends with an epiphany as unexpected as it is beautiful. The writing is often as good as writing gets....I expect anyone glancing at this review to make a respectable effort to read this book." - Ian Ross November 1997
