Review

"A rewriting of the Don Juan myth, with plenty of bite, good Cambridge atmosphere and a nice line in social and emotional observation . . . The novel is, above all, a work of sharp irony, standing back from making simple or fashionable judgments and taking a nicely jaundiced view of our contemporary sexual skirmishes." --Malcolm Bradbury, New York Times Book Review
