      Praise for Antoine Volodine

      “These wonderful stories fool around on the frontiers of the imagination. All musical dogs, woolly crabs, children, and other detectives of the not-yet-invented should own this book.”

      —Shelley Jackson

      “His quirky and eccentric narrative achieves quite staggering and electric effects. . . . Dazzling in its epic proportions and imaginative scope.”

       —The Nation

      “Volodine isn’t afraid to tangle animate and inanimate spirits, or thwart expectations. He delights in breaking down our well-honed meters of what’s supposed to happen.”

      —Margaret Wappler, Believer

      “His textured portraits are convincing and well-rendered, and he has written the type of open-ended work that will capture the attention of lovers of lit crit as fiction.”

       —Publishers Weekly

      “The ramifying narrative strands of Volodine’s novels fascinate, but they are almost impossible to describe.”

       —3:AM Magazine

      “Minor Angels has all the markings of a masterpiece: compression, resonance, and vision.”

      —Terese Svoboda, Literary Review
