Rezensionen
Nielsen BookData
`Like Madame Bovary blasted by lightening ... A masterpiece.' Angela Carter `At some point every good reader comes across "By Grand Central Station I sat Down and Wept".

Michael Ondaatje `A revelation...This short, powerful work has a profound influence on me and was one of the factors that made me want to be a writer.'
