I received this book from Bellevue Literary Press and Library Thing . This was an Early Reviewer copy. I loved the writing in this very atmospheric novel which bounced between Czechoslovakia and New York City. I did find the story a little "disjointed" as it bounced between differing characters, times, and locations and I never did figure out what the plot of the novel was. Everyone in the novel was always on the way to do something, but no one ever seemed to get anything done.
