Critics Review

I read the five Patrick Melrose novels in five days. When I finished, I read them again – Ann Patchett
Nothing about the plots can prepare you for the rich, acerbic comedy of St. Aubyn’s world or—more surprising—its philosophical density – Zadie Smith

Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation – Alan Hollinghurst
