“Steven Lukes’s moral fable is in the tradition of tall travellers’ tales from Swift and Voltaire to Lewis Carroll and Samuel Butler.”—London Review of Books

“Knock-out satirical humour.”—Times Literary Supplement

“Lukes manages to equal the pace and flair of Candide.”—New York Times Book Review

“Utterly magnetic.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review
