Customer Reviews

Cannot be praised enough.

This book is as good as anything Shakespeare or Dickens or Tolstoi has ever written. It is a much under-appreciated classic of unusual erudition. Johnston creates complex, profound, hilarious characters in this novel, all with fascinating names like Giuseppi Opernocketti and Llewellan McQuilla. A profound satire of academia as we know it today. The only modern author that rivals J. M. Johnston is Daniel Pinkwater.
