Trade Review"Both a howl of rage and a love letter... Rushdie is a very great novelist - our greatest" Guardian "Thrilling writing... A simmering novel, as crammed with passion and potholes as New York streets" Independent "Rushdie is an irrepressibly playful entertainer, as well as a web-weaving storyteller" Financial Times "Rushdie has found inspiration in new York, and pulls apart the city's every nuance in this dark and brilliant comedy" GQ "A writer of breathtaking originality" Financial Times
