Recenzii

"Both as literature and as a physical object,S.is a profound and tremendous work of art."—The Miami Herald
"Impressively smart, engaging . . . Filled with secrets and stories that are endlessly beguiling and inviting . . . Reading S., and trying to decode everything [was] an incredibly enjoyable, fun experience, as well as a particularly immersive one. . . . For all its mysteries and intrigues, this is a book about the value of books, and what they can offer us that other storytelling mediums cannot." --Wired
"S.is gorgeous, a masterpiece of verisimilitude. . . . The book's spiritual cousin is A.S. Byatt'sPossession. . . . The brilliance ofS.is less in its showy exterior than the intimate and ingeniously visual way it shows how others' words become pathways to our lives and relationships." --Washington Post
"Both as literature and as a physical object, S. is a profound and tremendous work of art. . . . Brilliantly conceived and perfectly executed, the book harkens back to a golden age of storytelling. . . . An audacious literary achievement that calls to mind Vladimir Nabokov'sPale Fire,Chris Ware'sBuilding Storiesand even Charles Portis'Masters of Atlantis." --Miami Herald
"ReadingS.is fun, and the book feels alive . . . Gloriously embroidered with marginalia and jammed with artifacts inserted between its pages . . . A celebration of the book as a physical thing." --Chicago Tribune
"Both as literature and as a physical object,S.is a profound and tremendous work of art."—The Miami Herald
