Ring

"""Alexis churns up a consistent supply of wry, pithy lines ('People fall out of respect as easily as they fall out of love') while maintaining the tension between the threat and hope that the ring offers ... [a] pleasantly unusual outing."" --Publishers Weekly ""Ring raises questions about love, marriage, fidelity, and the divine."" --Canadian Writers Abroad ""A tour de force by an accomplished writer, Ring reminds us there are still mysteries in the world that are well worth exploring."" - Necessary Fiction ""André Alexis, the wildly inventive Canadian author who gives me very strong Percival Everett/ Colson Whitehead vibes."" --Josh Cook, Porter Square Books ""... Alexis' Quincunx sequence [is] one of the boldest, most audacious, and most satisfying achievements in recent literary memory."" --The Toronto Star ""Told with a sense of inevitability and fate, Ring is an enchanting and sophisticated fable in which love is transformative."" --Forward Reviews ""A great novel doesn't try to answer questions, but, like Days by Moonlight, complicates them. "" --The Globe and Mail on Days by Moonlight ""This imaginative travelogue will amuse readers even as it raises weightier issues. "" --Publishers Weekly on Days by Moonlight ""I'm far from being a dog person, but as a book person I loved this smart, exuberant fantasy from start to finish. "" --The Guardian on Fifteen Dogs ""A clever exploration of our essence, communication, and how our societies are organized. "" --Kirkus Reviews on Fifteen Dogs"
