‘Rhys Hughes seems almost the sum of our planet’s literature. He toys with convention. He makes the metaphysical political, the personal incredible and the comic hints at subtle pain.'' — MICHAEL MOORCOCK
‘Hughes’ style, with all that means, is among the most beautiful I’ve encountered in several years.’ — SAMUEL R. DELANY
‘It’s a crime that Rhys Hughes is not as widely known as Italo Calvino and other writers of that stature. Brilliantly written and conceived, Hughes’ fiction has few parallels anywhere in the world.’ — JEFF VANDERMEER
‘A dazzling disintegration of the reality principle. A rite of passage to the greater world beyond common sense.’ — A.A. ATTANASIO
Genre: Fantasy
