‘Formidably accomplished … bursting at the seams with raw ability’ The Spectator
‘His writing, with nods in the direction of Borges and Nabakov combines violence, comedy and experiment … an impressively varied collection’ Time Out
‘Crisp, wry, energetic … the author slips with ease from one narrative manner to another, reproducing the exact tones of a girl in a sideshow or an articulate psychopath … nothing in this collection is less than diverting’ The Times Literary Supplement
