Extremely witty... Dip into this book at random and the chances are it will sit up and bite you like a rattlesnake
Sunday Telegraph
<b>The most lavishly ambitious American novel since <i>Gravity's Rainbow</i></b>... An outright marvel
Washington Post
<b><i>The Gold Bug Variations</i> has everything... </b><b>Stunning... Almost every sentence is a heroic tour de force</b>... The joy to be taken in reading the book is, like the pleasure of studying crystal multiplication, in seeing a pattern swarm mosaically over everything, watching a stencil laid over life
New York Times
<b>One of the best writers working now</b>
