Trade Review
"The cadenced prose beats in perfect time with the pulse of the slumbering city, where only the strange is awake. The atmosphere is old, dirty, often sordid, and yet, somehow, glorious.... The translation is almost perfect." -- John Randolph - Chicago Tribune
"He possessed, as it were, a profound intuition of the obstinate, amorphous contingency which is life..." -- Jean-Paul Sartre
