Solstad's construction of reality is uniquely his own... mad, sad and funny... the behavioural possibilities of the novel are subtly and fundamentally enlarged. -- Geoff Dyer * Observer * All of the whispers have been right: Solstad is a vital novelist. -- Charles Finch * New York Times * Solstad is expert in delineating the absurdities of existence... Solstad exposes us to ourselves. -- David Mills * Sunday Times * He's a kind of surrealistic writer... I think that's serious literature. -- Haruki Murakami His language sparkles with its new old-fashioned elegance. -- Karl Ove Knausgaard
