Reviews

[Lance Grabmiller · Rating 3 out of 5]

A series of portraits, not entirely fictional but also greatly embellished. His labyrinthine way of telling a story can be daunting at first, but once you get in the groove it is quite rewarding. Vastly aided by copious and indispensable notes by the translator.
