It’s a book that’s full of allusiveness, which works to create a dreamlike sense in which everything has a latent extra meaning … The book is about inspiration and the seeking of inspiration; about desire for sex, for art, for transformation … It is weird and it is entertaining … It is a success.” —Black Gate
