«A wonderful novel, rich and sombre, a record of pain and less but also of moments of vision and tenderness... flawless»
Adam Foulds, Independent
«The most extraordinary work of fiction I've read in a long time... If you're looking for a book that's simple and subtle, warmly human and at the same time utterly pitiless in his rendition of the vicissitudes of an ordinary existence, here's one you will read again and again»
New Statesman
«Unquestionably one of the finest novels of the 20th century, its genius lies in its candour and in prose that simmers with subtle intent.»
Irish Times

Bret Easton Ellis
