“Not only is it the finest first novel I have read in many years, but it is, quite simply, one of the most original and brilliantly executed works of fiction by any contemporary writer I know of.” –Paul Auster “Recalls the most disturbing moments in Marguerite Duras's work … [A] strange, sinister and compelling novel.” –Financial Times “An infrared view of Sex and the City, a snapshot plunged in an acrid bath.” –Globe and Mail “With an extraordinary sense of the mechanisms of love and the empathy of a saint for the human race, Céline Curiol gives us the most original and the best new book of the year.” –Marie Claire “The product of exquisite craft … it manages to be technically accomplished while being technically daring.” –Women's Review of Books |
