A small, enchanting novel that appeals to the naughty, insolent child in each of us. –USA Today
Luminous and daring . . Each delicious chapter - usually a page or less - is like a half-remembered episode from the depths of sleep, as indelible as it is fleeting. Story lines emerge, become entangled and then fade into the ether. And just when we think this oddball narrative is about to rise to the surface of wakefulness, we're plunged once again into blissful doubt. The effect is haunting. –Los Angeles Times
Audacious . . . extravagantly imagined . . . the novel is lovely. –
