“A book that belongs on the same shelf as Italo Calvino’s “If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler,” Nabokov’s “Pale Fire” and several works by Zoran Zivkovic, Stanislaw Lem and David Markson.” — Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
“The Blind Accordionist is a collection full of mischief and artistry. It is playful and serious in all the right places, though not necessarily the places the reader might expect. C .D. Rose is a storyteller of real brio and originality.” —Ronan Hession, author of Leonard and Hungry Paul
“Invaluable … Rose writes with wit, playfulness, and an impressive knowledge… Rose himself is an author to reckon with, one whom Borges and Max Beerbohm would have admired… We haven’t heard the last of C. D. Rose.” —Michael Dirda, Washington Post
“Nuanced … Mr. Rose is an appealing crank …. Though the vignettes are fictional, most are entertaining and all could serve as warnings to anyone thinking of taking up the literary life.” —Wall Street Journal
“I don’t remember the last time I read something this clever, puzzling, and intricate which simultaneously packed so much soul.” —Luke Kennard, author of The Transition
