Review:

"Good writing overcomes an intermittently stately pace....Tough going in spots, but an impressive addition to Banville's varied and eloquent body of work."

Kirkus, 01/15/2003

Review:

"Summarising Banville is a bit like taking a recipe from a restaurant cookbook and trying it at home--it never turns out quite right. We can't get hold of the ingredients or the high-powered cooker, and the results seem alternately bland and bizarre. Banville writes with such assured subtlety, however, that he forces us to ask his questions."

Benjamin Markovits, London Review of Books, 01/02/2003
