Publisher's Note
"Adair's translation is an astounding Anglicisation of Francophonic mania, a daunting triumph of will pushing its way through imposing roadblocks to a magical country, an absurdist nirvana, of humor, pathos and loss."-Time

Industry Reviews
"Translator Adair has pulled off something of a Pierre Menard here, rendering the exact same book--the same vowel missing--only different."
