Reviews

"Fine and glossy and inexorable . . . Stunning." --John Updike, The New Yorker "Carr�re has written a book that is likely to ensnare anyone who starts reading it--ingenious and authentically eerie." --The New York Times Book Review "His command is total, his ear is perfect" --The Star-Ledger (Newark) "[A] singular method of storytelling . . . [a] masterstroke." --Detroit Free Press "Carr�re is a master of high-standard deviation." --Spin
