Trade ReviewHis language sings . . . I should not be surprised if Hemon wins the Nobel Prize at some point -- Giles Foden, author of
The Last King of ScotlandHemon can’t write a boring sentence, and the English language is the richer for it * New York Times *
Aleksandar Hemon has established himself as that rare thing, an essential writer. Another small act of defiance against this narrowing world * Observer *
Sheer exuberance, generosity and engagement with life * Sunday Times *
Downbeat but also hilarious, while the writing itself is astonishing * Time Out *
If the plot is mercury, quick and elusive, sentence by sentence and word for word, Aleksandar Hemon’s writing is gold * Times Literary Supplement *
