''Few contemporary novelists could match the intensity of her vision'' J.G. Ballard



Trade Review
Anna Kavan's Ice is a book like the moon is the moon. There's only one. It's cold and white, and it stares back, both defiant and impassive, static and frantically on the move, marked by phases, out of reach. It may even seem to be following you. -- Jonathan Lethem * New York Times *
Brutal, addictive and extremely entertaining * Guardian *
