"A strange modern thriller–Kafka meets Hitchcock–laden with questions about truth, identity, memory, and the importance of names, a story that casts an unsettling spell."
–Keith Donohue, author of
The Stolen Child "Like a tale by Lewis Carroll or a film by David Lynch,
Samedi the Deafness teeters on the edge of unreality, plunges right in, and comes back again full circle. From its labyrinth of fictions, through the doubling and deceptive mirrors lining its walls and corridors, spills the eerie glow of some strange, ineffable truth."
–Tom McCarthy, author of
Remainder "
Samedi the Deafness is an urgent book . . . trying intently to tell us something about our world and our way of living, and it challenges us to listen. No serious reader can refuse this challenge."
–Paul La Farge, author of
Haussmann, or the Distinction
