"Deftly blurs the line between reality and the absurd. . . . Coincidences are plentiful and may remind American readers of Paul Auster's mode. Millás tips his cap to his Latin American literary cousins in his fantastical denouement in which he returns to a scene akin to the punishment of Prometheus." –On the Seawall
"Wonderfully absurd." –Litro Magazine
"Nicely layered and twisted." –Complete Review
"Everything impresses in this darkly iridescent, utterly captivating flight." –Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Masterly. . . . A disquieting fantasy of the Kafkian variety." –Library Journal
"Memorable. . . . A strange and often transgressive exploration of art and intimacy." –Kirkus Reviews
