Critics Review
A novel in which all of his remarkable gifts come together to produce a real work of art, disquieting, beautiful, intelligent, and in the end, surprisingly, offering consolation – Allan Massie * Scotsman *
You can smell and feel and see his world with extraordinary clarity. It is a work of art, and I’ll bet it will still be read and admired in seventy-five years. – Rick Gekoski * The Times *
Poetry seems to come easily to Banville. There is so much to applaud in this book that it deserves more than one reading. * Literary Review *
A brilliant, sensuous, discombobulating novel. * Spectator *
We can count ourselves privileged to be around at the same time as [Banville] is * Guardian *
