| PraiseIndependent (London)
"[A]n often profound book which invites people to make comparisons between his general statements about literature and how it comes into being, and how they bear upon his own working practice as a novelist and translator of other people's novels." - Michael Glover 08/13/2001Times Literary Supplement
"Park's approach is defiantly humanistic, and his essays slide easily into the biographical." - Phil Baker 08/17/2001 |
