Review: A work of immense beauty and elegance - This book is like a lucid dream, but so controlled and poetic. Nothing is excessive, everything is minimal and yet deeply profound. A deep sense and knowledge of history illuminates the seemingly random mumblings of Mr. Quignard, but even if you look away to think and wander away page after page, you will find yourself coming back. This book is unlike any other I've read, like a pool of clear water I keep wanting to take a dip inside. A work of immense beauty and elegance. I am lucky and delighted to have come across this author. P.S: I read this in English (not the original French), which is saying a lot about the translator of this book Mr. Chris Turner.
