Reviews
Epic . . . brilliantly achieved.
Deeply moving . . . in terms of an evocation of a certain mindset and a certain feeling of estrangement, it's really great.--Jennifer Szalai
A nostalgic yet deeply moving portrait of a decaying civilization.
One of the most readable, poignant, and superb novels in twentieth-century German: it stands with the best of Thomas Mann, Alfred Döblin, and Robert Musil.--Harold Bloom
