Andorra

"This marvelous mood piece about lying and truth telling, escape and discovery, and the weird calm at the heart of desperation."--The New Yorker"Andorra does everything you want fiction to do--entertain, turn tricks, surge with unexpected feeling, send you transformed back into your life--but it does it with that delightfully un-American virtue, a light touch."--John Weir, The Village Voice"Wonderful . . . Like so many good novels, Andorra ends badly for the characters but well for the reader. Mr. Cameron steers us through the final, fantastical events of Alex’s story with an unfaltering hand."--Margot Livesey, The New York Times Book Review "As eerily beautiful as it is laced with threat . . . Andorra is a revelation."--Michael Upchurch, San Francisco Chronicle"Controlled, precise, pellucid, Mr. Cameron's prose brilliantly transmits the moment-by-moment feel of his protagonist's sojourn in a country that finally does not allow him to escape from himself."--Merle Rubin, The Wall Street Journal--This text refers to an alternate Paperbackedition.
