"Students of literary theory in the late 20th century will recognize a postmodernist mechanism ticking away behind Kurzweil's novels. All those compartments sheltering compartments, those objects hiding in plain sight and artists stealing from their mentors call to mind matters most often discussed in scholarly journals ridden with polysyllabic jargon....If you like those sorts of ideas, Kurzweil invites you to play with them. But if not, don't let the invitation put you off....THE GRAND COMPLICATION is as welcoming and accessible as an Advent calendar, offering its prizes to anyone who cares to pry open the tabs."Kurzweil, Allen is the author of 'Grand Complication' with ISBN 9780786885183 and ISBN 0786885181.
