"A real adventure: brutal, tender, expressive, dramatic, and disarmingly funny ... It is difficult to stop reading when the pages run out." - San Francisco Chronicle

"Extraordinary ... Reverberates with echoes from sources as disparate as Robinson Crusoe and Aesop's fables [and] The Old Man and the Sea." - New York Times book review.
