Galchen is undeniably quite smart, but I found this novel to be exceedingly tedious. Her version of incipient insanity certainly convinces but I didn't think she was a very good stylist, which separates her from the Borges whom she so clearly admires. But I also think that that, no matter how good a writer she was, the novel's premise would have never interested me, which is why I gave it three stars - it may be someone else's cup of tea.
