Trade Review
The sharpest-tasting novel about the modern littleness of England. -- John Sutherland * The Times *
Runs at glorious full tilt...delightful stuff * Independent *
A brilliant, Swiftian fantasy * The Economist *
There is no more intelligent writer on the literary scene. In this novel, he is also moving. He has written nothing more poignant and enticing -- John Carey * Sunday Times *
Not only a very funny satire about England and the world... He has also skilfully dissected the discomforting ways in which we have all grown to accept, and even depend on, illusion * Wall Street Journal *
