On The Law of Dreams:
"Absorbing, unsparing and beautifully written...a masterly novel"
-The New York Times
"Superb. An emotional epic done in shadow-show, a lucid dream of the past, bearing echoes of Melville and Ondaatje, conveying scents and shimmers of a vanished world under the skin of our own."
-Jonathan Lethem
