About the Author:
La Farge is a frequent contributor to McSweeney’s and is the author of Haussmann, or the Distinction, a New York Times Notable Book, and The Artist of the Missing, winner of the California Book Award. He is also a leading scholar on the work of Paul Poissel, one of the least known of the little-known French "tiny metaphysician" writers of the late 19th century. "La Farge is a master storyteller with cleverness and inventiveness to spare." —Philadelphia Inquirer "La Farge conjures sinuous, melancholic otherworlds that feel wholly tangible." —Village Voice
Review:
"La Farge designs worlds—splendid, elegant edifices built on the rubble of our dreams and history." —Colson Whitehead
"... awispy reverie ... performs sly thievery, nicking childlike flights of fancy lost to the magical realm between memory and imagination." -- The Village Voice, July 5, 2005
