Recenzii
“A remarkable, electrifying novel.”
–Georgia Straight
“A novel as sensual and fantastic as a fairy tale and as thoughtful and as beautifully written as anything we might expect from
Michael Ondaatje and Isabel Allende.”
–London Free Press
“Audacious. . . . Salamander is about making books; it’s about why we read and what happens to the chain of our lives when we do.…”
–Quill and Quire (starred review)
“Witty, elliptical and provoking.…Delightful.”
–Montreal Gazette
“A cabinet of wonders.…”
–Globe and Mail
“A vigorous, imaginative novel about the power of reading and invention.”
–Quill and Quire
“Salamander is the sort of book every reader hopes to find, earnestly passes along to friends, and returns to in their dreams.…A visceral, compelling novel that will reward both serious inquiry and reading for pure pleasure.…A beautiful, emotionally resonant postmodern novel.”
–National Post
“This novel cannot help but connect deeply with its readers. . . .”
-Edmonton Journal
“It’s all too rare that you pick up a book and find yourself inexorably swept into a different world, thoroughly absorbed in a realm far removed from the here and now.…Salamander captivates its readers, holds them spellbound, and persists in memory long after you’ve turned the final page.…Thoroughly absorbing.…”
–Vancouver Sun
“Wharton’s novel is both spellbinding and encyclopedic.…It is a book lovers’ book and a lovers’ story.”
–New Brunswick Reader
“Salamander is an extraordinary book of possibilities.”
–Calgary Herald
“[Wharton] cement[s] his reputation as one of Canada’s most promising young writers.”
–Maclean’s
