Media Reviews
"Though T-Zero continues for a while to chronicle the adventures of Qfwfq, there are indications that Calvino has tried to break the snug mold in which the earlier stories were cast....[The first section] is a rerun of 'Cosmicomics'. The second group, 'Priscilla' [still involving Qfwfq], is a mad and dazzling scientific dissertation on the nature of love and death. The third, despite its echoes of Borges, Kafka and the nouveau roman, does have one story, 'The Count of Monte Cristo,' which juggles these influences so skillfully as to recreate them...." -- John Ashbery
-- New York Times Book Review

Offutt has received a James Michener Grant and a Kentucky Arts Council Award.
