  • "Un homme enquête sur les raisons du suicide de son cadet et fait ressurgir un passé douloureux (l'alcoolisme commun aux générations successives d'une grande famille de Virginie, musicienne et déchue) et nimbé de nostalgie. Une oeuvre remarquée et attachante, même si elle manifeste un peu trop le grand savoir-faire de l'auteur (professeur de creative writing) cependant digne héritier de F. S. Fitzgerald. Pour un premier roman, quel hommage."
  • "Een jonge musicus gaat in New York de levenswandel na van zijn broer die zelfmoord heeft gepleegd."
