«Addictive . . . fascinating»
The Spectator
«Tantalising and disturbing in equal measure»
Laura Wilson, Guardian
«A magnificent storyteller»
Der Spiegel
«Psychologically raw . . . delivered in a crisp translation by Katharina Hall, his unfussy prose is icily effective . . . it suggests that all justice systems are flawed, that they are all just processes. And, with immense empathy, von Schirach's stories show what happens to people when they are processed.»
Christian House, Financial Times
«The stories are cool, meticulously crafted, pithy and mordantly amusing . . . this is an unsettling, affecting, extremely powerful book. Highly recommended»
Declan Hughes, Irish Times
«Thrilling and edgy, often carrying a twist in the tale»
