Ingenious essays from "a Jorge Luis Borges for the Space Age, who plays in earnest with every concept . . . from free will to probability theory" (The New York Times Book Review).
This is a collection of perfect yet imaginary reviews of nonexistent books. With insidious wit, the author beguiles us with a parade of delightful, disarmingly familiar inventions. "Lem is Harpo Marx and Franz Kafka and Isaac Asimov rolled up into one and down the white rabbit's hole" (Detroit News). A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book
