"Entrancing . . . I can't think of a recent novel that better describes the scarily charged beginning of a love affair." –The New York Times Book Review
"A beautifully composed rave-generation rhapsody . . . In prose dripping with eroticism and aching with melancholy, Dyer masterfully dissects the vicissitudes of twenty-something love." –
The Sunday Times (London) "Witty and sexy and experimental." –
Lucinda Ballantyne, The Boston Globe "Absorbing and darkly romantic . . . However it's labeled–as a novel thick with essay point, and old-fashioned story in postmodern dress, or a fiction that contains its own dissertation–Paris Trance is a haunting work." –
Tom Nolan, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "
Tender is the Night for the Ecstasy Age." –
Tim Pears, author of In the Place of Fallen Leaves "A beautiful, remarkable book about sad, unremarkable lives." –
Ian Sansom, The Guardian (UK)
