Media Reviews
Tillman paints a portrait of a mind, Horace?s mind, that is broad, funny, self-deprecating, blind in spots, occasionally ridiculous, capable of passion and relentlessly entertaining? Patrick McGrath, LA Times Book Review 'There is something so tingly, crisp, and wry about this wholly unexpected novel, it stimulates you just like the brisk, cold Greek wine that delights its charming narrator...Tillman has created a persona and story of great wit, sensitivity, wiliness, and integrity. Delightfully clever and probing -- Donna Seaman * Booklist *
Tillman?s intelligence and sophistication have led her toward a quality I can only call grace. Like Gertrude Stein, John Ashbery and Henry James, this book could be read over and over, each time with deepening delight and appreciation * Peter Straub *
