Anmeldelser

«What a deliciously intelligent entertainment this is, couched in a prose of enviable suppleness… a master is at work here.»
Rupert Christiansen, Daily Telegraph

«The Belle Époque is brought to life through three colourful lives in this sparkling account stuffed with top fin-de-siècle tittle-tattle.»
Robbie Millen and James Marriott, The Times *The Best Books of 2019*

«Julian Barnes’s wonderful The Man in the Red Coat surges round Belle Epoque Paris… a story full of digressions, white peacocks, missing limbs, amusing adverbs and fantastic clothes. An absolute tonic for grey winter days.»
Claire Harman, Evening Standard *Books of the Year*

«One of his best books, very handsomely published too… [The Man in the Red Coat is] a bravura performance, highly entertaining.»
David Sexton, Evening Standard, Book of the Week

«Do not google Samuel Jean Pozzi. If you want to enjoy Julian Barnes’s The Man in the Red Coat — and believe me, it’s teeming with delights — stay away from search engines and trust the author to tell the story in his own way… punctuated by the sound of gunshot…[this is a] brilliant, defiantly unconventional book.»
Adam Begley, Spectator
