Recensione

Virtuosic . . . [attests] not only to Mr. Wagner’s range as a writer—his ability to write with affecting sincerity as well as satiric glee—but also to his power as a storyteller to beguile.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

“Lavishly imagined . . . Wagner [dares] his readers to be so callous as to question fiction’s ability to imagine the impossible.”—The Boston Globe

“Wagner’s astute portrayal of the follies of the rich is exceeded by his skill at rendering the lives of the poor. The chapters on Amaryllis . . . are worthy of a latter-day Dickens.”—The Washington Post

“Brilliant, inventive, and entertaining . . . a rip-roaring, special-effects-filled ride.” —New York

“Combines social satire on the scale of Thackeray’s Vanity Fair with a hipness that has become Wagner’s trademark.” —GQ

“A brash authorial voice . . . tinged with melancholy . . . a sincere exploration of life, death and immortality.”—People
