Su questo libro

Recensione:

“A strange, rich store suffused with the poignancy of genius that is not allowed to flourish.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Imaginative...provocative themes and images.” —New York Times Book Review

“A phantasmagorical 

tall story in which images 

of startling beauty and 

shocking cruelty tumble 

from the mouth of the 

sly, buttonholing 

narrator. It leaves you 

fascinated, appalled, 

and deeply moved.”

“Imaginative...provocative themes and images.” —New York Times Book Review
