Praise
“This is the most under-covered, undervalued release of 2014.”
—Flavorwire, 50 Best Independent Fiction and Poetry Books of 2014
“[Weiss] remains among the most important postwar German authors no one’s read.”
—Slate, Overlooked Books of 2014
“A moving testimonial to a young man’s strivings for personal freedom… This poetically concise yet propulsive work…paints a portrait of a young artist in his state of becoming.”
—3:AM Magazine
“One of the finest, strangest coming-of-age novels you’ve never heard of.”
—Barnes & Noble Review
“A remarkable writer… must be counted among the most important European authors of the 20th century.”
—The Complete Review
“A dynamic work, a re-creation and exorcism of the past rather than a recollection of it in tranquility…Wholly succeeds in fusing a new realism with a new imaginative vision.”
—Times Literary Supplement
