PRAISE FOR GOCE SMILEVSKI'S WORKS

 

“Stunning . . . Bold and unexpected . . . It dares to provide a kind of shadow biography of Freud that is highly critical of the ‘great man.’ . . . Sure to be provocative.” —Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books

 

“Strong, multi-layered, obsessive [like] José Saramago.” —La Repubblica (Italy)

 

“Powerful . . . a discovery.” —RaiNews (Italy), No. 1 Book of the Year

 

“A pleasure to read. There is great depth in this novel, and its poetic prose shines through even in this English translation.” —Associated Press

 

“Like Tolstoy, Smilevski chooses to use simple words, but to connect them eloquently so that they build to create powerful and complex images, ideas and feelings. . . . [A] heart-breaking book.” —Nicholas Meyer

 

“I’ve been deeply moved. . . . It’s very difficult to forget and is very likely to be as controversial as it is acclaimed.” —Joyce Carol Oates, Elle (Spain)

 

"A brooding, sepulchral book.” —The Wall Street Journa

 

l“Hauntingly beautiful . . . Achingly elegant . . . This is a novel that deserves to belong to world literature.” —Judges’ citation, Modern Language Association’s Lois Roth Award (honorable mention)

 

“This gem of a book . . . is deeply moving. . . . A provocative discourse on sanity and perception . . . Unforgettable.” —Publishers Weekly

 

“Superb . . . Provocative and poignant . . . A sensitive portrayal and a well-crafted novel [that] offers keen insight into the Freud family dynamics.” —Kirkus Reviews
