Review
- ...arguably the most remarkable fabulist since Borges and Calvino.-- Michael Dirda, Washington Post
- Though it is too soon to crown Zoran Zivkovic the new Borges, Seven Touches of Music makes him a leading candidate.--The New York Times Book Review
- ...unexpected beauty and surprise. [...] Zivkovic is seeking to communicate something about the nature of life and death, of existence and non-existence, which bends perception into new and challenging shapes.--Strange Horizons
