Zoli
'McCann tells his story from several different perspectives - a contemporary journalist, Swann, Stransky, and Zoli herself. With each voice McCann performs an astonishing feat of ventriloquism and mimicry, even creating one of Zoli's poems...His novel is a hymn to specificity, a clamour against homogenisation and...McCann doesn't fall for ersatz philosophising or elevate his gypsy characters into noble savages.'
