"To Forget VeniceÂ is a tour de force of ventriloquism. Elegant, contemporary, and wry, the voice at its center is also capable of disarming flights of imagination as it enters and inhabits other lives across time and gender. The glittering, fetid city emerges as a complex metaphor for the human heartâ€™s simultaneous tenderness and capacity for cruelty, its â€˜silver glow / a local specialty: filth / disguised as ornament.â€™ This Venice is unforgettable."
