Revue de presse

"The prose is unostentatiously gorgeous. The seductive cadence of the language, the velocity of the narrative, the vividness of the physical universe, the stunning economy of emotions-all of these writerly qualities converge in Tom Paine's undeniably powerful work."-Bob Shacochis, author of the immaculate invasion
"Visionary, nightmarish, irresistible . . . The range and scope of these ten haunting and often morally confronting tales is extraordinary, sometimes mind-boggling."-Frederick Reiken, author of the odd sea
