"Singer substitutes structure for plot and an intensely charged language for the convention of character, [yet] retains all of the mystery and psychological depth of the novels in the great tradition."

-San Francisco Weekly Reader

"An arresting convolution of strange rhythms…Alan Singer's prose has a…cadence and originality, as though he were writing in a tongue he had just invented."

-James Purdy

"…extraordinary…a continual exhibition of linguistic and technical pyrotechnics…a vision reminiscent of John Hawkes and Faulkner before him…hard work on the reader's part, which will pay him or her back with a wide, wondrous wealth."

-Lance Olsen, American Book Review
