Review:

"Delicate, fantastic and very funny... A highly individual style, a fertile, active inventiveness... It's cool, joyous, lucid and pleasant to read" -- Malcolm Bradbury "Richard Brautigan is joining Hesse, Golding, Salinger and Vonnegut as a literary magus to the literate young" * Look * "A charming and original work... The parable itself is extremely relevant" * The Times *
