Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"All its delights...the structural novelty and the comic inventiveness of the imagery...[are] an ebullient and generous celebration of the reading experience." -- The New York Times Book Review "As with Borges or Garcia Marquez...[Pavic] knows how to support his textual legerdemain with superb portrait miniatures and entrancing anecdotes." -- Washington Post Book World Translated from the Serbo-Croatian by Christina Pribicevic-Zoric
