A literary colossus, whose ability to inspire, astonish and enrage his readers is undiminished' * Washington Post * There is a clarity, almost a ruthlessness, to his work, which makes the experience of reading any of his books a bracing, wild ride... He is the last of the giants * The Times * Roth...knows no limits, which is part of the fun of reading him * New Stateman * While the other big beasts of his literary generation lost it one by one, Roth has enjoyed a flowering of late form barely seen since Yeats. * Literary Review * Roth is no longer a novelist of comic exuberance, but of thoughtful meditation about life and increasingly death; he is our surviving laureate of lateness. His new work will not detain you long, but it will linger * Telegraph * The great man of American literature still flashes with brilliance * Sunday Express * His most savage and unrelenting work yet... (Roth) has lost neither his voice nor his power to shock * Sunday Herald * Roth's late prodigious burst of creativity continues * Metro * Slim, fast-moving, sometimes funny but mostly bleak read...original and unsettling * The Times * Adds to his reputation as one of American literature's greats * The Times *
