LANCE OLSEN ON ‘THE MOTH FOR THE STAR’

Delighted to have a note from Lance Olsen, author most recently of the fabulous Always Crashing in the Same Car: A Novel After David Bowie, in response to an advance reader copy of The Moth for the Star. Lance writes:

“Every sentence on fire, James Reich’s cosmopolitan orphic novel alchemizes mystery tropes into an existential exploration of uncertainty and unlearning that leaves time, space, love, yesterday, and tomorrow as energetically unsettled as a symphony of quantum strings.”
