A novel about an auctioneer who loses his teeth when he's robbed of everything he has, and the lives of those around him. This is a book whose narrative and conception are acutely self-referential, which cuts the flow, though doesn't entirely bring things to a halt. A bold work which only half comes off - there's much to admire, but the book has a fairly cold feel, as if the reader's being led a little too far, then pushed back. Experimental and worthy; not always the most entertaining.
