A complex treatment of time... An absorbing view of history.
*New York Times Book Review*
Enough plot twists and conspiracy-making ingredients to satisfy the
most demanding aficionado of the genre.
*Irish Times*
Fascinating... Powers has a remarkable ability to find metaphors to
illustrate the brain processes... terse and heartbreaking.
*Los Angeles Times Book Review*
Grand fiction... Prisoner's Dilemma is magnificent.
*The Nation*
I love and admire this book... I cannot give an adequate sense of
its many marvels... One of the most beautiful and baffling
dialogues in recent fiction.
