Reviews:Edward Brown, author of Playing Basra wrote:

"An expedition through the emotional terrain of a man on a quest, Abundance of the Infinite is a succinctly crafted gem of a story. Author Christopher Canniff's intuitive writing style masterfully blurs the line between dream and reality, torment and tenderness."

Royston Tester, author of Summat Else wrote:

"Canniff's novella, with its Borgesian-like surrealism, sharp, insightful analyses, and De Quincey atmosphere, is a brilliant, unforgettable exploration of guilt in the service of love."
