Critics Review
As fascinating, complex, stimulating and energetic as any work of art … A work which proves Banville as a master, the artist in total control of his craft. * The Times *
John Banville’s funniest book … another triumph by our most outrageously inventive and daring novelist. * Sunday Independent *
Makes this astonishingly attractive novelist one of the most important writers now at work in English – a key thinker, in fact, in fiction. * London Review of Books *
A beautiful, beguiling book full of resonances that continue to sound long after you’ve turned the final page. Its imagining is magical, its execution dazzlingly skilful. * Sunday Tribune *
