“A mature and unique literary talent … Zarhin gives us a tangible make-believe world soaked in smells and tastes … like a rich flavorful stew that keeps brimming over.”
"It isn't hard to see why this has become a cult classic . . . evocative passages . . . make this slim book so memorably disconcerting. A haunting novel with traces of thrillers and metafiction in its text."
