Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Davies…is one of the most delightful writers on this continent. Here…the English language is celebrated in a fireworks display of lively ideas, bawdy humor, and sustained brilliance.” —People
“[Davidson] accomplishes the task of preserving this restless story with a flowing narration. He modulates the voice of Maria, a graduate student, separating her from male companions with expressive accuracy. His slight English accent and dry, earthy elocution soundly stir this fiction to its concluding moment.” —AudioFile
“A compelling performance.” —Library Journal (audio review)
“[A] darkly funny scuttle through academe’s more covert passageways…This is saucy stuff indeed—swept with vaporous intention and fertile with miraculous minnows of donnish wit.” —Kirkus Reviews
