Trade ReviewNone of Mr Barnes's previous work... has quite prepared us for the bewildering maturity of
Staring at the Sun...it dazzles in depth * Harpers & Queen *
Brilliant... Mr Barnes's work is at the forefront of a new internationalization of British fiction * New York Times *
A remarkable and risk-taking book, breezily philosophical and light-fingered, funny and also genuinely affecting in that it touches both the heart and the head * Glasgow Herald *
