Media Reviews
Amis's backwards world is rigorously imagined. It is a world of pathos and cruel hilarity...but the crux, the test of his vision, is what he does with Auschwitz. -- Guardian
Extraordinary...Ironic inversion is essentially a comic device, but its trickery here yields results that are rigorously grave. -- Independent on Sunday
Amis's most daring and ambitious novel. -- Daily Telegraph
