"As a posthumous fantasy, then, THE IMPOSSIBLE BIRD is a pure success... Philip K. Dick texture...cool de Chirico surreality...some of the estranged crystalline ring of Jonathan Carroll or Jonathan Lethem or Robert Charles Wilson... In the end THE IMPOSSIBLE BIRD does molt out of its sf trappings and (lifts) our hearts.” - John Clute, The New York Review of Science Fiction
