Review:

He has hit on a brilliant theme, low and heroic at the same time. --Norman Shrapnel, Guardian

Part autobiography, part joyous invention, it combines picaresque at its best with comedy of high subtlety and poetry. [...] A major novel by a major novelist. --Financial Times

Anthony Burgess is one of the most versatile artists of the English language. --Erica Jong, Washington Post
