«This brilliant and eloquent novel, which puts into words so many unutterable annoyances, is a sort of Zen satire in which tolerance and understanding mingle with hilarious criticism of contemporary mores. It’s a wonderful read»

«I loved this beautiful beautiful book. It's tender and compassionate, written with exquisite care and verve, and so so SO funny»
