Trade Review
"Siegel ardently caresses words, relishes their sound and appearance on the page.... Love in a Dead Language deserves space on the short, high shelf of literary wonders." - New York Times Book Review "Immensely clever and libidinously hilarious.... To say that Love in a Dead Language is a novel John Barth would be happy to claim as his own might begin to convey some of the bawdily intellectual pleasures and lucid stylistic features of this unique hypernarrative." - Washington Post Book World"
