Reviews
He possessed, as it were, a profound intuition of the obstinate, amorphous contingency which is life..., The cadenced prose beats in perfect time with the pulse of the slumbering city, where only the strange is awake. The atmosphere is old, dirty, often sordid, and yet, somehow, glorious.... The translation is almost perfect.
