Critical Praise

"...it's difficult to come up with a suitable thematic or stylistic precursor to his unclassifiably brilliant latest..."

—Publishers Weekly

"C is for carbon and cocaine, Cairo and CQ, and many other things besides. Under the elegant curve of the letter lies a fantastically detailed landscape of tiny pen-strokes that, if seen from high enough above, coalesce into a face, laughing uproariously. Tom McCarthy’s latest is terrifically stylish, acrobatic, and insidious."

—Luc Sante
