Notes

"So wildly imaginative, and yet so open to all that is small, bright and counter. Deeply felt and often joyful, in its way. A beautiful, beautiful book."

- Rivka Galchen, Author of American Innovations

"What a marvelous mbius band of a book. Too beautiful for blurbs. It's one of those books you'll read for the rest of your life."

- Paul Beatty, Booker Prize-Winning Author of The Sellout
