“A HECTIC GAUDY SAGA WITH THE VERVE OF A MARX BROTHERS MOVIE.” NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

“AS GOOD AS, IF NOT BETTER THAN, GARP.” THE LITERARY REVIEW

“A startingly original family saga that combines macabre humour with Dickensian sentiment and outrage at cruelty, dogmatism and injustice… Irving’s popularity is not hard to understand. His world really is the world according to everyone.” TIME
