It's unlikely that a more intelligent, amusing and yet disturbing novel will appear this autumn. * Scotsman * Wilson is witty, erudite and artful. * Spectator * Wilson has crafted an unusual, intriguing narrative, filled with flashes of insight and humour * Literary Review * A joyfully eccentric book, stuffed with learning and wisdom. * The Times * Aftershocks is crafted with great elegance and is fizzing with ideas, as Wilson zig-zags between Euripides, Christianity, sex and anthropology with an intellectual fluency few of his contemporaries could hope to match. * Mail on Sunday * A teasing, cerebral novel which has much to say about religion, death and loss. * Country and Townhouse, Best Books of 2018 * Delightful and funny * The Catholic Herald, Allan Massie * Beautifully written * Allan Massie, The Scotsman *
