Reviews

Braendlin's wit, intelligence, erudition, and great humanity make this book a most enjoyable read
-Christopher Sharrett, Seton Hall University

Lovers of Venice, of history, of complexity will delight in these repeated rambles across ancient waterways and down winding streets. The novel is an intriguing palimpsest in which several characters' journals provide layers of experience and inquiry.
