'Pinol is possessed of an exceptional, fecund and devious imagination.'
David Mitchell

'Going into that realm of hyperbolic fabulation where Umberto Eco has long made safari, this marks Pinol's emergence as a significant European writer.'
Giles Poden, Guardian

'Full of sci-fi happenings and tall tales, this sparky romp is addictive.'
Financial Times
