“We couldn’t resist this enthralling story (that reads almost like theatre) as it moves imperceptibly from what appears to be realism into something that is definitely surrealism or, maybe better, sottorealism. Characters, without losing credibility, function as mouthpieces for ideas bigger than themselves and the narrative, in the least likely of circumstances, becomes an inquiry into the nature of being. Absurdities accumulate as the action progresses. Puns, witticisms and a unique turn of phrase abound.” - Fleas on the Dog
