Review Quotes

"Classically elegant."--The New York Times Book Review "Sze's list-laden sequences capture the world's manifold facts one by one, then through discursive commentary exact from them a sense not only of aesthetic order but of universal cause and effect." --Boston Review "Sze is uncommonly good at bringing such diverse elements and textures into dialogue with one another, seizing on a resonant musicality that binds even the most surprising words together." --Rain Taxi
