The Guardian "This is a man who would give Conrad a run at writing the perfect sentence...Room will now have to be made at Faber alongside Alasdair Gray, James Kelman, Irvine Welsh and A.L. Kennedy." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Bella Bathurst, The Herald "Faber's disconcerting vision, his instinctive feel for pace and suspense, and his vision of an upside-down existence are too unsettling and too finely drawn to be knocked off course." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Time Out "As well as possessing imaginative gifts, Michel Faber is a writer of unusual skill...Strong satire in the Swiftian tradition, rendered with outstanding narrative power - genuinely horrible and down-right weird." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. The Spectator "Faber's approach throughout the novel is unashamedly adventurous and eclectic. If he were a lesser writer, his feverish imagination could have got him into quite a muddle. he successfully avoids this because he has fine judgment and is a consummate showman." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
