Review
'Benson is a sharp stylist and delivers great lines in a glorious deadpan... Fine writing, clear thinking, and a life-enhancing sense of hope' --Sunday Telegraph
'Vividly, defiantly realistic at times, luridly surreal at others, his writing's ability to compound striking metaphors of the abstract with a graphic physicality has won him a deserved following' --The Times Literary Supplement
