"""A most promising and original young writer."" --Ursula K. Le Guin ""Vandana Singh's radiant protagonist is a planet unto herself."" --Village Voice ""...individual sections illuminate and provide a rounded backdrop to the whole, until by the end of this finely layered novella I felt as though I had met a fully formed human being--not to mention a number of fascinating characters--and all with a mathematical conundrum of epic proportions with dire import for the cultures of two planets."" --Bob Blough, Tangent Online ""Singh mixes mathematical, artistic, and sociocultural speculation in a way that feels holistic precisely because it is aware of where those different domains intersect and interact."" --Niall Harrison, host of Torque Control ""Lovely! What a pleasure this book is ... full of warmth, compassion, affection, high comedy and low."" --Molly Gloss, author of The Hearts of Horses ""Sweeping starscapes and daring cosmology that make Singh a worthy heir to Cordwainer Smith and Arthur C. Clarke."" ―Chris Moriarty, Fantasy & Science Fiction ""...the first writer of Indian origin to make a serious mark in the SF world ... she writes with such a beguiling touch of the strange."" ―Nilanjana Roy, Business Standard"
