Review
'Elsschot is full of subtle feeling and his style is highly economical and lucid...a sophisticated, parodic, tender realist of genius' -- Martin Seymour-Smith
'Packed with bizarre incidents and even more bizarre characters...black, certainly, but brilliantly comic as well. A rough-cut gem’ -- Ham and High
