Praise

Haunting,Profound and delightful,A marvellous feat of storytelling that dives deep into the madness accompanying solitude and creativity,A childlike (so, wise) and arresting fable, with moments of bleak beauty and longing,A beautiful and dark meditation on fatherhood, mercy, redemption and the alchemy of isolation. Strange, moving and musical, it’s a delight,Bizarre, moving, intensely odd,Marvellous . . . profound and delightful. A strange and tender parable of two maddening obsessions: parenting and art-making,Inspired . . . a riff on the entwined themes of fatherhood and creative spark,A thing of physical beauty,A re-imagining of Pinocchio, told from the viewpoint of the beast-entrapped Geppetto, it surprises and delights, and saddens and gladdens, from start to finish
