"Dashingly brilliant . . . Marvelously enjoyable . . . Todd, by
turns elegant, sarcastic, disdainfully well read, pounces and plays
with his hide-and-seek subject, writing in the present tense. The
result is delightful reading."
-"Kirkus" (starred review)
"Wittily bracing . . . [Todd's] use of the present tense throughout
gives the narrative a lively tone, immersing the reader in
Malraux's frantic existence. Todd indelibly captures the writer's
enormous charisma."
