«Mr. Fortune's Maggot is satire at its best. There are passages here - particularly those delightfully malicious ones, of which there are many - that still cause the reader to laugh out loud. There is so much truth here»
Anthony Slide
«Sylvia Townsend Warner pursues the psychology of the story with beautiful accuracy»
John Carey
«Her writing is full of melodic skills... Her sentences move like talk between intimates. Perhaps that is why this quizzical tale is so intensely moving»
Gillian Beer, New Statesman
«At long last I pulled down from its place on the shelves Sylvia Townsend Warner's plump little novel impishly titled Mr. Fortune's Maggot and was once again amazed by what a witty, poetic, clairvoyant writer this English woman was»
John Updike
«Original, elegant and hypnotically strange»
Miranda Seymour, The New York Times
