"I'm not sure I've read anything like this before. It stunned me, baffled me, full of dark beauty and strange ideas. A miniature masterpiece" [E.A Burrows]
"Genre defying, darkly comic, and a triumph of the possibilities of language. Comparisons with Nicholson Baker, Pessoa and Borges abound" [Patrick Hell]
