Praise for The Face Thief…


“A dark libido animates this novel that can’t be resisted. The reward is an intimate literary encounter with a force that is beyond good and evil, and turns the mystical screws behind our unfathomable human destinies.”
-Walter Kirn, author of Up in the Air and Lost in the Meritocracy

“Psychological depth and mystery cast in great sentences: the result is a suspenseful, beautifully achieved example of what happens when a serious novelist wants us to keep turning the pages.”
-Francine Prose, New York Times bestselling author of My New American Life
