Omschrijving
A richly sensuous story of adventure and discovery
Engrossing . . . the reader falls under the spell that the author is weaving, surrendering to the story's exotic magic
Remarkable . . . a novel that immerses the reader in a distant world with startling immediacy and ardor
A virtuoso tale, cast in the Burmese colonial wars of the 1880s . . . Mason [adds] a depth of quirky historical knowledge and a feel for the brutal politics of colonialism, to create a complex and subtly imagined adventure . . . with echoes of other books: Heart of Darkness, of course, and A Handful of Dust . . . a highly dextrous and involving performance
Intriguing and alluring . . . those strange images of Europe meeting the east, of the east engulfing Europe, linger like a haunting tune
An ambitious, adventuresome, highly unusual first novel that offers pleasures too rarely encountered in contemporary American literary fiction . . . [Mason is] a gifted, original and courageous writer
Luminous . . . Mason's writing achieves that kind of reverie in which every vision, tone, flavor and sensation is magnified

A recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, he is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Stanford University, where he teaches courses in the humanities and medicine.
