What People are Saying About This

Ned Rorem

How could any reader fail to be overwhelmed by this book, at once unbearable and fascinating, about a mystery which affects everyone on earth.

Pauline Kael

It's a heroic exposure; Monette has captured the hysteria that feeling ineffective brings on. And there are darting shafts of wit -- expressions of his anger at people who are untouched by the suffering. They're not likely to be untouched if they read this book.
