It looks like a thriller, acts like a character study and leaves the reader pondering.” —The Washington Post Book World“Brilliant… . A tour de force of anguish and release, as beautiful as it is horrifying.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune“Writing about madness isn’t easy, and Peters captures the feeling with a disquieting intensity.” —The Miami Herald“Christoph Peters decants questions about the nature of image, truth and art… . [The Fabric of Night asks:] Do we ever truly get outside of ourselves?” —San Francisco Chronicle
