Critical Praise

"[Nova's fiction] is so powerful, so alive, it is a wonder that turning its pages doesn't somehow burn one's hands."

——New York Times

"Nova's novels deserve to be ranked among the best fiction of the past two decades."

——Washington Post

"An exquisitely delineated battle between father and son . . . The structure and the language of this novel are almost without fault."

——John Irving, New York Times Book Review
