Synopsis:
In the land of the Well-Built City, study of the body's shape can determine a person's character, uncover his deepest secrets, even foretell the future. And in the hands of an expert like Physiognomist First Class Cley, this solemn intelligence delivers or lost, careers are shaped or shattered, lives are continued or cut away. A man who commands such forces may ignore nearby dark pools of arrogance and corruption--but only for a time. Very soon, Cley will discover the truth about himself and his profession, as his whole world of privilege dissolves into a nightmarish odyssey, careening toward a fate not even the great physiognomist can predict.
Review:
"Seriously, logically, stunningly surreal: a compact, richly textured, enthralling fantasy debut--even if the publishers prefer to bill it as an 'unconventional literary novel'."
Kirkus, 07/15/1997
Review:"Ford writes equally well about the scientific cult of precision and the acceptance of ambiguity. You don't have to embrace his antiscience message to appreciate the care and skill that went into its framing."
Gerald Jonas, New York Times Book Review, 11/02/1997
