Book Synopsis
“A mixtape of variations and a fugue on time from a postmodern master.… Familiar tales and conventional genres are made new, tinged with shuddering wonder and titillating humor.” —Yu-Yun Hsieh, The New York Times Book Review

Trade Review
"A riveting, elusive, phantasmagoric, weird, delightful, grim and farcical collection.… [Coover] is one of our best writers, and this collection underscores that judgment with boundless desire and imaginative bliss." -- Providence Journal
"This collection is astonishing.… [Coover] has managed to be literature’s guardian at the same time he has been its re-inventor and alternative.… Both astounding and fun to read." -- The Buffalo News
