A Sensitive Person

“To have a translator with Zucker’s experience and expertise . . . is a real gift to readers (and critics). The benefits are apparent from the jump in A Sensitive Person, which opens with a rich and informative translator’s note.”—Cory Oldweiler, Los Angeles Review of Books

“Large, boisterous, and ambitious. . . . One of the more frenetic, rambunctious, and distinctive novels of recent vintage.”—D. W. White, On the Seawall

“A superb, mesmerizing novel, reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy’s Suttree and Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, set against the background of the permanent Russian threat to Central Europe.”—Misha Glenny, BBC broadcaster and journalist

“As long as Europe inspires such works of art, all is not lost.”—Jorg Plath, Neue Zürcher Zeitung
 
“Fast-paced and dazzling.”—Dennis Wagner, Kultur.21
