Reviews
More than just a dark futuristic novel, Zippo sits at the rarely visited border between the detective story and science fiction. Here is a striking testimonial on the stormy beginning of our new century. The elliptic, well-worked, stylized and poetic writing quickly wins us over, regardless of syntactic conventions: the sentence is often severed from its subject and syncopated as if it was the very reflection of this tattered, tense universe." - Solaris
"A work as frightening as it is fascinating. No reader can be left indifferent." - Le Libraire
