"The book suggests Joyce in its technique and the Russians— perhaps Dostoyevsky— in its theme. Fundamentally it owes little to any individual or to any school: it stands alone as a unique and startling conception" (from the front flap). "I am in awe of Faulkner’s Benjy, James’s Maisie, Flaubert’s Emma, Melville’s Pip, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein—each of us can extend the list. . . . I am interested in what prompts and makes possible this process of entering what one is estranged from" (Toni Morrison).
