“The best book I’ve read in the past year…Dunthorne brings distinction and finesse to every sentence…A masterpiece.”
Andrew O'Hagan, Financial Times
“A slippery marvel [and] a quixotic voyage into the heart of 20th-century darkness.”
The Observer
“Poignant and profound, comic and unconventional – and genuinely, searingly meaningful.”
The New York Times
“Finely and gently crafted, an extraordinary and unexpected journey.”
Philippe Sands
“Devastating and brilliant. A complex but hugely readable story that ranges across the lingering half-life of twentieth century European history, all told with Joe Dunthorne’s trademark dry wit. It’s a cracker.”
Jon McGregor
“The best book I’ve read in the past year…Dunthorne brings distinction and finesse to every sentence…A masterpiece.”
