  Short Description for Samedi the DeafnessA stunning debut, this work is a dream-like spy novel set in an asylum for the curing of chronic liars. Like a tale by Lewis Carroll or a film by David Lynch, [it] teeters on the edge of unreality, plunges right in, and comes back again full circle--Tom McCarthy, author of "Remainder."
