review 1: At first I thought this was going to be a whimsical take on the sad-young-literary-men novels that I'm getting a little tired of, but then it ended up being a but more clever and winking. Cheekily plays with truth and plagiarism and lying and doubling and appropriation and fiction and homage and etc. Never achieved any kind of emotional depth, but wasn't working too hard in that particular direction. Fun, quick, worth a peek.
review 2: Quite enjoyed this book. Great writing. It has its confusing moments, as it's basically a story wrapped in a story wrapped in a story. In essence, the same story is told with three different (albeit the same) protagonists. I will admit that I did go back and re-read the beginning after getting to the end. Everyone's a character,
... moreexcept when they're not. “Somewhere in this empty space, between my lies and fictions, is the truth.” less

Russian doll type of construction for a very clever well-written novel about writing.
Jessica
Charming in places, but it kept losing me whenever it veered towards the fantastical.
Emily
meh.
