Review
"A pungent stew of a book using every ingredient to hand: nourishing but full of strange, grisly lumps and bitter flavours" (Guardian)
"Grass is one of the master fabulists or our age and perhaps its supreme dramatist of metaphor" (The Times)
"Shrewd, moving and funny" (New Statesman)
"Grass is one of the few great writers in Europe today" (Daily Telegraph)
Book Description
'Actual factual elements are fused with imagined, created things, curt yet marvellously explosive observations: the result is a difficult, dynamic book, like no other... certainly an event in the reader's life and possibly in literature's history' - Sunday Times
