Deeply moving and thoroughly engaging, this novel's focus is on character rather than plot - a character which unfolds, deepens, and profoundly illuminates not only his world, but our own.

A remarkably witty and engaging collection of linked short stories: dry, sharp, and smart, this book is hard to put down and a pleasure to pick up. You'll have to find someone else's copy: I'm keeping mine.

Nye at her delightful and insightful best, showing that she's as compelling an essayist as she is a poet.
