Reviews

"The Adventures of Mao on the Long March provides an intelligent, taut, and entertaining change from conventional novels. Its substance is satisfyingly solid and satisfyingly mysterious. "
*John Updike - The New Yorker*

"Delightful and original—funny and bitter and serious."
*Iris Murdoch*

"A work of genius and by far the best ‘post-modernist’ novel…Mao stands alone as a masterpiece of its kind."
*Oscar Hijuelos*

"Frederic Tuten has written a violently hilarious book. The Adventures of Mao is soda pop, a cold towel, a shady spot under a tree for culture-clogged foot soldiers on the American long march."
*Susan Sontag*
