Recensione:

"E.L. Doctorow is an astonishing novelist--astonishing not only in the virtuosity with which he deploys his mimetic skills, but also in the fact that it is impossible to predict even roughly the shape, scope and tone of one of his novels from its predecessors."--Robert Tower, The New York Times Book Review

"Doctorow is a master of atmosphere . . . He knows the art of storytelling inside and out."--Newsweek
