"One thinks of Joyce ... then forgets
him and thinks of Rabelahl:
Doubtfire
is brilliantly sustained, a book where
language is the hero." -

glossaries are ransacked
with Ehzabethan violence, dictionaries
are torn and thrown like confetti, set–
ting into hypnotic
pat~erns.
The effect
is breathless, brilliant . .."
