Trade Review
The most brilliant and also the funniest novel that he has written * London Review of Books *
Ingenious and proliferate plotting...a new comic debacle over every page * The Times *
Academic infightings, couplings, touching, funny and frightful set pieces, dark humour, sharp wit and plain farce - here is everything one expects from this author but thricefold and three times as entertaining as anything he has written before * Sunday Telegraph *
A wonderful tissue of outrageous coincidences and correspondences, teasing elevations of suspense and delayed climaxes * Observer *
