Exquisite ... Heavy with portent, the narrative unspools with the somnambulant, hypnotic heft of a myth hurtling towards its heady denouement ... Achingly beautiful * Financial Times * A bold and hard-hitting novel, but one written with sensitivity and held together with delicately threaded imagery * Glasgow Herald * Edinburgh has the force of a dream and the heft of a life * Annie Dillard * Impressionistic, palpable, nuanced, beautifully written and challenging * Attitude * Haunting ... Complex ... Sophisticated ... [Chee] says volumes with just a few incendiary words * New York Times * Beautifully imagined and executed ... Profound and poetic ... Chee's is a voice worth listening to * San Francisco Chronicle * Alexander Chee gets my vote for the best new novelist I've read in some time. Edinburgh is moody, dramatic - and pure * Edmund White * A coming-of-age novel in the grand Romantic tradition, where passions run high, Cupid stalks Psyche, and love shares the dance floor with death ... A lovely, nuanced, never predictable portrait of a creative soul in the throes of becoming * Washington Post * Few coming-of-age novels truly stir one's emotions or lead readers to consider the trauma of their own lives. Edinburgh does both * Newsday *
