covers so much ground.. Beside its weighty historicism, this book will also be enjoyed for its Kermodean interest in the ordering of time ... the technique of novel writing ... and for how, like the meta-Bildungsroman utsekf, it gently registers the attractions of the genre it deconstructs * Vidyan Ravinthiran, Times Literary Supplement *
