Media reviews

"The author's real subject is the heave and crush of modern, polyglot Rome, and he renders the jabs of everyday speech with such precision that the novel feels exclaimed rather than written."-The New Yorker

"A satirical, enigmatic take on the racial tensions that afflict present-day Europe."-Brooklyn Rail

"What's memorable about Lakhous' novel is what he shows us of an often inward-looking nation confronting the teeming vibrancy of multicultural life."-NPR's Fresh Air

"Do we have an Italian Camus on our hands? Just possibly . . . No recent Italian novel so elegantly and directly confronts the 'new Italy.'"-Philadelphia InquirerEND
