"Masquerade is a meandering, surreal, and unsettling search for identity as Meadow examines the masks he's worn throughout his adult life."
"The novel's ending has a hopefulness and purpose that helps counterbalance the main character's lack of agency throughout most of the story."
"In a rush to catch the plane to visit his parents in Shanghai, he stuffs the book in his bag. As he reads it, he finds uncanny parallels between his life and the novel."
"Dream-like, Masquerade begins somewhat aimless, introducing small mysteries and oddities that provide an unnerving background hum to an otherwise aimless plot."
