"In Rabindranath Tagore's footsteps, Richard Payment writes beautifully, and generates a moving evanescence, working, as he does, in the age-old but always compelling area between writing and dreaming. This is as much a prose poem as it is a novel, the kind of book and writer we must not lose in the new unsatisfying welter that corporate book publishing has become." (Frank Delaney, author, journalist and broadcaster)

"A fresh voice, one that follows its own promptings and isn't going to be marshalled by what other people might want. It's about discovery, very much in tune with the zeitgeist." (Elizabeth Buchan, author of "Light of the Moon," "I Can't Begin to Tell You," "Revenge of the Middle Aged Woman" and other novels)



"The book is a true gift and guide to better understand the quest for and sources of euphoria and completeness." (Amy Barone, poet, author of "Kamikaze Dance")



"I adore the sparse style and the easy melody of the prose. A natural writer, this fellow. The narrator, Vishesh Darshane, is endearing and I would follow him to the ends of the Earth." (Sonja Yoerg, author of "House Broken," "Middle of Somewhere" and "Clever as a Fox")
