Reseñas de la Crítica

Recalls Orwell's 1984 and Wells's The Time Machine.... a revelation.

Unputdownable, moving, ingenious... it will remain in my head with troubling images and scenes for a long time. (A. N. Wilson)

Shot through with Hoban's trademark luminous prose... A book to read and reread.

He displays prodigious storytelling skills and an uncanny talent for fleshing out allegories. The result is an urgent, bitterly ironic but tender evocation of the capacities of the human spirit.

A funky and funny tour de force.
