The Pequod Review:

Utz, Bruce Chatwin's third and final novel, is the story of Kaspar Utz, a Czechoslovakian man living behind the Iron Curtain whose attachment to a collection of porcelain figurines leaves him unable to escape. It is short and intense — a collection of shards rather than a proper novel — but the shards are sharp.
