Book SynopsisT. F. Powys is a forgotten genius like no other—and Unclay is his masterpieceTrade Review"Delightful." -- Kirkus (starred)"Very few 20th-century authors have the knack of writing convincingly of first and last things. T.F. Powys is one of them. " -- John Gray - New Statesman"Powys’s quaint village brims with eccentrics and sinners, and gentle humor exists alongside a brutal frankness about power and sex. It is hard not to succumb to the strange, animating energy in Powys’s allegorical tale about Death’s redeeming qualities." -- Publishers Weekly"An esoteric genius: his books are puzzling, engaging, and illuminating, glowing with a gentle, a half eerie light, humane, ironic and wise. Powys gives pleasure and delight, unique and surprising music." -- The New York Times"Grimly brilliant." -- John Carey - The Sunday Times"One of the most original of all English storytellers. T.F. Powys’s novels and the powerful Unclay ‘stand up like oaks.’" -- TLS""Unclay is such an odd and unlikely book that it seems scarcely more real than the fictional books Borges delighted in. Behold visions that owe a debt to Blake and the novel’s theological concerns and earthy humor harken back to Swift, but Powys’s ambivalence seems hyper-contemporary: I loved this book."" -- Matthew Keeley - Tor.com"His masterpiece." -- Washington Post"Heretical, scandalous, and mocking, but essentially parables." -- Jorge Luis Borges"Mr. Powys is not a writer for everybody, but I am sure that he is a writer for posterity: indeed, of living authors I consider him the most notable, both as a thinker and a stylist." -- Sylvia Townsend Werner
