Trade ReviewYou will go a long way to find anything better than this -- Edward Docx, author of
Let Go My HandThere is simply more history and more drama in Hemon’s stories than in a shelf and a half of the usual dayglo Anglo-American entertainment * Guardian *
Like Nabokov, Hemon writes with the startling peeled vision of the outsider, weighing words as if for the first time; he shares with Kundera an ability to find grace and humour in the bleakest of circumstances * Observer *
A storyteller, funny and sad in equal measure, and always entertaining * Scotland on Sunday *
Amazing. The personal fall-out of political failure has never been so searing * Time Out *
