Su questo libro

Recensione:

“This lovely, lilting book...dramatizes love’s cross-purposes with panache.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“The stories are clever, unsettling, confusing, and often brilliantly moving.” (Library Journal)

“Brilliantly kooky and off-kilter.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

“[Handler] oozes wit and he’s an astute social observer. The book’s offbeat sweetness charms.” (Charlotte Observer)

“Daniel Handler [is] something like an American Nabokov.” (Dave Eggers)
