Definitely not what I expected from this novel at all, I'm interested in exploring his novels for adults now. I loved that this was a book about the brothers Grimm and didn't see it coming.

"This one has grown on me, and I realize it’s one of the better novel-to-film works from the 1960s counterculture. Also notable for the brilliant performances from Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro."

"Hamid performs intricate, impossible tricks with time and place in this novel, and he’s so artful that it all feels not just plausible but effortless. Plus, the not-conventionally-requited love story is completely swoony."
