'The breaks in style and point of view match the author's disjointed search through memory to find the lost epiphany that he failed to record in the middle of the night. The information conveyed in this story lacks the purposefulness of the questions posed in "Lost Pages," and though the gaps between segments can create an interesting tension and resonance, the unusual syntax and the lack of cohesion between sections pull the reader out of the story. [...]Napoleon's Roads is an experiment worth conducting, as the places in which fragments resonate across the gap give new perspective on aspects of the human condition.'  (Publication abstract)
