Critical Praise

"The hard-boiled detective novel meets the Tibetan Book of the Dead...Veronica is a dramatic literary achievement unlike anything else in contemporary American fiction."

——Edward Hirsch, National Book Critics' Circle Award-winning author of Earthly Measures

"Hip, sexy...superbly lyrical...A novel which anything can happen."

——The New York Times Book Review

"Black and white magic, time travel, the choicer arcana of Tibetan Buddhism, and a titanic struggle to the death at the top of the Empire State Building...Satisfying as the storytelling is, though, the deeper pleasures here stem from the author's imaginative and idiosyncratic scholarship, by means of which the uncanny is made to seems commonplace and the commonplace unfathomable."

——The New Yorker
