Trade Review
A marvellously meandering, digressive study of the nature of love… Burnside has a lovely garrulousness that is distinctively his own… Exact and enthralling. -- Tessa Hadley * Guardian *
[An] indirect, peculiar, consuming memoir… Full of wonders. -- Kate Kellaway * Observer *
A wise and wryly glum autobiography written in a highly rewarding, pared-back style. -- Martin Hemming * Sunday Times *
Captivating and unsettling… A work of scalding honesty. -- Sophie Elmhirst * Financial Times *
Intoxicating… Remarkable… A long-player that resonates long after the stylus has lifted. -- Brian Morton * Glasgow Sunday Herald *
