Beschreibung

'A rollicking masterpiece . . . one of the most delightful, hilarious, intelligent novels I've stumbled across in recent years' Paul Auster
'Wild, satirical and pathbreaking . . . flat-out fearless and funny and sexy and sublime . . . Oreo is a nonstop outbound flight to a certain kind of readerly bliss. It may have been first published more than forty years ago, but its time is now' New York Times
