Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Having recently moved to a bohemian Toronto neighborhood, middle-aged entrepreneur Alan learns his next-door neighbor's struggle to conceal her wings and hides his own secrets about his unusual family, which includes Russian nesting doll brothers, one of whom is bent on revenge. By the author of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.


Review:

"[T]hough his writing's often witty, Doctorow's satire manages not to overpower the humane, thoughtful insights at the story's center. A fantastically weird read."

Ruminator Review, January/February 2005

Review:

"In this inventive parable about tolerance and acceptance...[Doctorow] demonstrates how memorably the outrageous and the everyday can coexist." (starred review)
