'Haunting' The Guardian 'Le Clezio is ever the master at rendering existence at the level of sensation with a daring and admirable freshness of language' New York Times 'Author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization' Swedish Academy, 2008 Nobel Prize 'Mr. Le Clezio is like a post-Darwin Rousseau, decrying the ruination of indigenous cultures around the world' Wall Street Journal 'Le Clezio's book is as much a speculative biography of a man he now realizes he hardly knew as a memoir of a complicated childhood. It is a memory palace, a deliberately disordered evocation of the past that hopscotches through time' Boston Globe 'A vivid depiction of a splintered childhood and the lovely wholeness procured from it' Kirkus Reviews
