“Heartbreaking, hilarious.” —The New Yorker“Disarming and brilliant. . . . A tour de force. . . . Wodicka’s prose is a revelation.” —The Boston Globe“Elegant. . . . [Burt’s] efforts to hurl himself into the present are chronicled with smart, casually poetic observations. . . . Even if Burt can’t transcend time, Wodicka’s novel can.” —Entertainment Weekly“This tender, oddball book . . . performs a deft balancing act as it hides love, yearning and regret behind the mouthful of medieval incantation in its title. . . . Startlingly poignant.” —The New York Times Book Review
