Synopsis This novel, which has been compared to Kafka and Nabokov, comes with an introduction by Michael Cunningham in which he calls it "a vast meditation on literature and music, on history, and the ongoing human struggle not only to leave behind something significant but to make sense of what's been left behind by members of previous generations."
