Reception
"The testimony of this decelerated man makes for a long, luxuriantly detailed read," Charles Fernyhough noted in Borges and Marquez and their mixture of magic and mundane. At its best, the book bears comparison with those masters."[4] The critic Frank Kermode hailed Passage as "a remarkable feat of imagination and sheer narrative energy, the apotheosis of the picaro."[5]
In translation
In 2011, Passage was published in Spanish as La Noche Será Larga[6] in a translation by Claudia Conde.
