Review

"Astute, cunning, brilliant . . . this is an earthy, philosophical tract drawing on history and human experience."
―Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times

"Focusing on Corsica, but taking in Paris, Algeria, and French colonies in Africa, its portrayal of the many accommodations we make with 'circumstances' is both humorous and poignant."
―Catriona Graham, The Guardian


"A beautiful meditation on the end of the world . . . as universal as a Greek tragedy."
―Astrid de Larminat, Figaro

"A novelist whose concern with how we should live and what we can believe puts him in the tradition of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus."
―Allan Massie, The Scotsman


"Overflowing with eroticism, sensuality, violence, and blinding flashes of wisdom."
―Claire Devarrieux, Libération
