"Dragomán conveys [main character] Djata's fearful mental landscape with unadorned run-on sentences, skillfully building a totalitarian world simultaneously immersive and repulsive." Publishers Weekly "Dark comedy and enveloping tragedy converge in this powerfully disturbing novel." Kirkus Reviews, Starred "Dragomán is sure-handed throughout his U.S. debut . . . the novel holds up on the strength of its characters and wealth of memorable scenes. [Belongs] on the same bookshelf as David Mitchell's Black Swan Green and Zsuzsa Bánk's The Swimmer." Library Journal -
