Editorial Reviews
“Great nuance and
sophisticated prose that seduces you with its cadences…You’ll savor the [end]—and
be hungry for future work from this talented author.” —Washington Post Book World
“Mysterious and
compelling…Krauss brings to her work a poet’s gift for seizing upon small but
potent details…A novel that…is hard to forget.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
“A deft comedy of
unfamiliarity…A lucid consideration of the metaphysics of mind-shuffling…Krauss
celebrates the anything-but-simple art of human connection.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“A meditative debut
novel about the pleasures and dangers of forgetting…A chilling addition to the
annals of amnesia lit.” —Village Voice
“A deeply
philosophical novel, one that strikes upon the nagging paradoxes of modern life…With
the character of Samson Greene, Nicole Krauss puts a human face on these
concerns, and—in prose that shimmers with intelligence—tells us his potent and
memorable story.” —Sun-Sentinel
“A provocative first
novel…Beautifully written, intellectually engaging…Krauss has a remarkable feel
for what is ultimately unfathomable.” —Chicago Tribune
“Memory and the
ramifications of losing it are explored with all the precision of a CAT scan…Charges
bravely into a tangle of difficult questions.” —San Diego Union-Tribune
“Unique…Intriguing…It
is impossible to read this book without wondering what you would do in the same
situation; that reason alone is enough to pick it up.” —Denver Post
“Ambitious, cohesive,
intelligent, precise, and accomplished…Remarkably fresh…Everything in this
novel works.” —Raleigh News and Observer
“An incisive novel of
self-invention.” —Details
