Recenzii
"Fascinating and refreshing...brilliant." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Glorious entertainment, storytelling at its best, a piece of richly comic invention...mesmerizing." —Boston Globe
"[Carey's] work has a wild, chance-taking quality that seems to put him in harmony with the spirit of this age. If he keeps on as he has, he will prove to be one of its finest novelists." —Chicago Tribune

But a very pregnant agent of the Australian Taxation Office turns the family upside down in this darkly comic masterpiece.
