“Writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history.” –From the Nobel Prize citation

“Not since Kafka or Beckett–both clear influences–has a writer packed so much metaphysics into so tight a space.... [A] classic literary detective story.” –The New York Times Book Review

“A judgmentÉon the human spiritÉ. By turns sardonic, watchful andÉbitterly despairing.” –Los Angeles Times Book Review
