“This Magic Moment is funny, appealing, original, handsome, smart, beautiful. It dazzles. If this book were a man or woman, you’d want to go out with it. You’d fall in love with it.”
— the Los Angeles Times
“More ideas per page than any piece of fiction in recent memory.”
— The New York Times Book Review
“Compares with the early novels of Saul Bellow.”
— United Press International (Yes, UPI really said that)
