Recensione:

“A...novel that delivers. . . . Marc Bojanowski makes hay of high expectations.” (Interview)

“Remarkable...Bojanowski’s narrator has no name, but he is one of the most profoundly felt characters in recent fiction.” (Dale Peck, author of Now It's Time to Say Goodbye)

“Spellbinding. . . . An exceptional story of human loneliness and passion that will haunt every reader.” (Library Journal)

“Gripping. ... Bojanowski’s dog fighter is a Hemingway hero. ... Thoroughly absorbing.” (New York Times Book Review)

“This debut novel twists into a poetic justice that delves deeper than shocking bloodletting scenes.” (Chicago Tribune)
