The Proof begins with the very direct pick-up line: 'Wannafuck?' - a proposition that is repeated several times over the course of the story. We acknowledge (and remind and warn you) that they may, in fact, be entirely unrepresentative of the actual reviews by any other measure. Similarly the illustrative quotes chosen here are merely those the complete review subjectively believes represent the tenor and judgment of the review as a whole. Please note that these ratings solely represent the complete review 's biased interpretation and subjective opinion of the actual reviews and do not claim to accurately reflect or represent the views of the reviewers. ' The Proof is an exceptionally good novella, in the mould of other avant-garde Latin American writing of that era not dissimilar to something Roberto Bolaño might have written, or the Colombian Andrés Caicedo' - Louis Amis, The Spectator.'Immer wieder werden Erwartungen durchkreuzt (.) Am Schluss wird der Überfall auf den Supermarkt mit dem Urknall verglichen, der Geburt eines neuen Universums, aber die Zivilisationen, die dabei entstehen, beruhen auf «anderen Prämissen» - die Idee des Ursprungs wird zitiert, zugleich aber als Abweichung von sich selbst gedeutet.' - Eberhard Geisler, Neue Zürcher Zeitung.In The Little Buddhist Monk & The Proof - Canadaī+ : nicely spiraling-out-of-control tale In The Little Buddhist Monk & The Proof - US
