Appropriation and racial confusion themselves become motifs; the book reads like the nightmare of a person having an extreme identity crisis.-- Literary Hub

Vian pulps noir by running it through the blender of his rancid post-avant-garde imagination. This book is a brilliant, brutal, page-turner, and every bit as nasty as the most depraved prose of the Marquis de Sade or Jim Thompson; simultaneously, it is one of the most intelligent novels dealing with race and racism in the United States penned by a white European writer. aStewart Home
