"Narrated in an amused, ironical tone that belies its tragic content, Roy's short, powerful, extraordinary novel
is both a rich exploration of friendship and a hymn to our genocidal century."

"I hope Hugh Harter's limpid translation brings many American readers to the fiction of Claude Roy,
which has the finely made exactness and modestly sealed poignancy of chamber music."
