Le Clezio is an intensely atmospheric, nearly hallucinatory writer, and in his riveting and eviscerating short stories, dreams turn inexorably into nightmares. --New York Times Characters remain the prey of their own sensations . . . but the effect is more haunting for being so softly spoken. And when Le Clezio chooses to employ his talent for dissociation, he does so to truly unearthly effect . . . .This is Nobel-quality writing, an international author with a mature style telling a story to the peak of his capacity. The English language needs more of it. --Telegraph
