Praise
“To read this unforgettable book with complete attention is to get lost. . . in a way that not only reawakens one’s sense of the terror of war but also revitalizes one’s understanding of the possibilities of narrative.” —Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal
“[An] authoritative translation. . . Simon’s primary characteristic as a novelist – indeed that which made him an exemplary Nouveau Romancier and a rare jewel among Nobel Laureates when he received his prize in 1985 – was his desire to find and create other narrative shapes, ones which frustrated the closures of life and death, comedy and tragedy. Ones which allowed him to linger among the difficulties and the traps of storytelling as such.” —Ben Libman, New Left Review’s Sidecar
“The ferocious drive of the prose, the images of love and war tossed up like spray out of the struggling rush and turmoil of words, is stupendous.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Simon [is] a ‘writer’s writer,’ questioning language’s utility as he employs it to breathtaking effect.” —Publishers Weekly
