From the back of the book! "As fate has its way with his irresistable characters, the sorcerer-like Auster rhapsodizes about nature, orchestrates unlikely love affairs and hilarious conversations, and considers such extreme experiences as a life in pronography and marriage to a tyrannical religeous fanatic...His most down-to-earth, sensuous, and socially conscious novel to date" -Booklist " A charming, beguiling story about the terrible beauty of families and the redemptive power of love...His writing is packed with surprises"-USA Today "A big harted, life-affirming, tenderly comic yarn"-The Washington Post
