'Well-served by his excellent translator, Gerald Turner, his beautifully constructed fictions are full of life and colour, of observation as affecting as it is precise, and of a robust sympathy for the human condition that celebrates his characters' courage in trying to seize joy from life, even as it record their failure.'
