The Dwarfs

"A fascinating work . . . possessing extraordinary power. Masterful." --San Francisco Chronicle "Brilliant, cranky, and eccentric, and the narrative passages are some of the most thrilling ever written." --Library Journal

"Some of the author's most enduring themes--notably, sexual jealousy and betrayal--are present. . . . The narration shows traces of writers as various as Joyce and Beckett, e.e. cummings and J.P. Donleavy." --The Washington Post

"The Abbott and Costello meet Samuel Beckett dialogue . . . makes you laugh out loud." --The Village Voice
