Review:
"The most brilliant and also the funniest novel that he has written" (London Review of Books)
"Ingenious and proliferate plotting...a new comic debacle over every page" (The Times)

"A wonderful tissue of outrageous coincidences and correspondences, teasing elevations of suspense and delayed climaxes" (Observer)
