His last books There Is No Year and Nothing both received rave reviews in the NYTBR, among other places. Blake has a rabid fan base, will do a reading tour, and saturate the internet with promotion. Blake's voice is the new voice, the first real voice from the age of the internet. This book is bound to be reviewed by many places, and we expect them to be polarizing reviews.

Лоліта… Вона була для нього звабливим, жаданим сном. Маленька спокусниця, антична німфа, безгрішне янголя. Лоліта. Вона була його прокляттям. Увесь світ став супроти, всі правила та приписи було нещадно порушено. Усе перетворилося на тернистий клубок. Чи це кохання? Чи це злочин? Чи нічого цього не існувало взагалі, крім них двох? Заради неї він скоїв чимало жахливих речей, одержимий однією думкою: «Не втратити свою Лоліту». Ту саму, що стала світлом його життя, полуменем його тіла. Його гріх,...

Выморочность парижской жизни задана с первого рассказа, с выезда лавочников за город раз в год – поесть на травке, услышать соловья, совокупиться по зову плоти. И это – все. Если и мелькнет в этих рассказах естественное чувство, то как зеленая дачная травка для горожан – полдня, и довольно. Но и эти полдня могут стать откровением – пусть страшным, – ради которого жив человек. Ибо страшнее всего не смертоносная ревность и даже не сотрясающее открытие, что очередная содержанка оказалась твоей же...
