Review:
The bizarreness of human actions fascinates Sherrill, and this novel generates an emotional suspense beyond its simple plot because of Benny's ambiguous, destructive impulse. Benny becomes a monster but, in a curious way, is still beloved. * * Independent * * Inventive, wryly perceptive and remarkably skilful in its fusion of tragic and comic elements . . . it undoubtedly deserves our attention. -- Jem Poster * * Guardian * * Steven Sherrill has a striking ear for a phrase and the novel is often very funny. The last 100 pages are compelling and desperately sad. * * Daily Telegraph * * Sherrill's prose is clean as a hungry man's palate and calculatedly prosaic, yet it shimmers with a lyrical grace and sensitivity than can be traced to his years as a poet. * * Herald * *
