New York Journal of Books Reviews "From the Mouth of the Whale" by Sjon translated by Victoria Cribb

Jan. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Reviewer Tony Bailie regards, "Switching from first- to third-person narrative, From the Mouth of the Whale is a story of a man out of sync with the time in which he lives but whose very sense of being is wired into the physical environment into which he was born"

Tony Bailie also praises, "Beautiful prose, sharp observation of nature, folklore, poetry, grotesque violence, human loss, and outright comic chaos weave in and out of this confidently written novel in which the narrative tone is in perfect pitch with the story being told".
