"Throughout a nearly four-decade career . . . New Englander Irving has chal-lenged our puritanical assumptions by treating sexual deviance as the norm. It is no small thing, then, to say that Until I Find You is his most erotically fraught work yet." —The Village Voice
uAn often stunningly visual növel . . . Irving is a compulsive, wildly inventive storyteller." —Los Angeles Times Book Review
