"A feverish stew of metaphor and imagery that simmers in a base of family relationships and seasonal changes. It takes some time to adapt to Schulz's style, which is rich and meandering and despite its deliciousness is sometimes hard to digest. The long story "Spring" revolves around a stamp album that inspires colorful daydreams of foreign lands and historical figures-- of which the daydreamer is one-- but I finished reading it and felt like I had just awakened from a vaguely unpleasant dream. All of these stories have that sort of effect, though some of them are a little less nebulous. Wonderfully moody stuff."
"In high school, I went through a *huge* phase of reading Eastern European lit -- from Kundera to Kafka -- as well as Jewish lit. Schulz is a stunning artist, surreal and banal all at once."
