RaveThe Age (AUS)Superb ... This is an extraordinary novel: inspired, powerful, at once coherent and dreamlike. While it\'s rich in symbols and in implications, much of it is brutally realist in mode, with its flights of imagination anchored in rational explanations: the result of drugs or fever dreams ... In its depth and breadth of meaning and its combination of imagination and craftsmanship, this is a profoundly literary novel ... Thought-provoking in all directions.
