Critics Review
One of contemporary literature’s major works… You have to open this book
One of contemporary literature’s major works… You have to open this book – Ali Smith
Fantastically funny… As a practitioner of the novel, Marías has few peers at the moment…Marías is a deeply necessary writer, a crusader, funny, pungent, full of wrath and love * Guardian *
Unquestionably the most significant Spanish writer of his generation… Your Face Tomorrow is a rich, haunting, intriguing, sometimes frustrating meditation on the significance of our lives that also shines an unforgiving light on a too-often forgotten bloodshed * Observer *
By turns ebullient, snappish, lyrical, self-delighting and chilling… Marías’s fiercely perceptive novels are among the best work being produced anywhere at the moment * Independent on Sunday *
