review 1: I really wanted to like this book, and a few of the stories were actually pretty good, but it is weighed down by multiple stories that are exceedingly abstract, surreal, and pretty much incomprehensible (to me, at least). And after reading so many of these senseless bits of literary modern art, they are no longer whimsical or entertaining, they are starting to get annoying. At about 80% finished, I'm finally throwing in the towel on this one.
review 2: Fascinating collection of stories from a very unconventional storytelling mind. At once firmly set in the real world and the surreal world, the author introduces the reader to worlds where: conversations become Conversations and people literally explode; society is rife with cineaddicts continually seeking that... more next film fix; a library book shares its journey through time and hands; words mean everything and nothing. Horvath's stories are filled with compelling characters and fascinating ideas. less
