A truly twisted read-- you'll find yourself as insane as the protagonist by the end. Great writing in that it draws you into the story and tangles you there.

I had no idea what type of adventure I was embarking on when I started this book. Kind of a bizarre "Fantasy Island" experience. Worth the trip. Listed as one of the top books of the the 20th Century by Random House.

An intriguing and fantastical novel by one of the most brilliant writers of the twentieth century. Don't miss out on this one.
