"...Mr. Dufresne...is an abundantly talented storyteller with a habit for droll, self-referential parody. He has fashioned a funny, tenderhearted, melancholy book marinated in a keen sense of the absurdities of everyday life....One of Mr. Dufresne's qualities as a writer is his ability to mimic...the tangle of consciousness, the fragmented state of things as real life presents them....What distinguishes Mr. Dufresne's novel from the common lot of comedies of contemporary bad manners is the lyrical wisdom that [the hero] achieves at the end. He is a character who dares always to keep on thinking.Dufresne, John is the author of 'Love Warps the Mind a Little' with ISBN 9780452278981 and ISBN 0452278988.
