Media Reviews
A major craftsman in the art of farce...vengeful, chaotic, Swiftian in his tastes, cartoonish in his extremes, and above all wild and amusing * The Observer *
Britain's leading practitioner of black humour * Punch *
Tom Sharpe serves up the loudest laughs in literary comedy. He is the great post-Waugh humorist, the Wodehouse who dares plunge into the bottomless vulgarity and hysteria of our times, and a rattling good companion on a train journey * Mail on Sunday *
The funniest novelist writing today * The Times *
The best of British farce-masters is back * Mail on Sunday *
