Review:

"You could read this novel as a miniature REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST. Or as an expanded DEATH IN VENICE...or as a homosexual LOLITA....It is an immense pleasure to read..."

Gabriele Annan, New York Review of Books, 11/03/1994

Review:

"[M]oves beyond provincial gay territory to the full-fledged European novel."

New Yorker
