Product Information
"Entrancing . . . I can't think of a recent novel that better describes the scarily charged beginning of a love affair."--"The New York Times Book Review" "A beautifully composed rave-generation rhapsody . . . In prose dripping with eroticism and aching with melancholy, Dyer masterfully dissects the vicissitudes of twenty-something love."--"The Sunday Times" (London) "Witty and sexy and experimental."--Lucinda Ballantyne, "The Boston Globe""" "Absorbing and darkly romantic . . . However it's labeled--as a novel thick with essay point, and old-fashioned story in postmodern dress, or a fiction that contains its own dissertation--Paris Trance is a haunting work."--Tom Nolan, "San Francisco Chronicle Book Review" ""Tender is the Night" for the Ecstasy Age."--Tim Pears, author of "In the Place of Fallen Leaves"
"A beautiful, remarkable book about sad, unremarkable lives."--Ian Sansom, "The Guardian" (UK)
