Review

Thirty-nine years after Ragtime, Doctorow is still at it; still ambitious, still sinuous, intimate, conversational (Jane Smiley Guardian)

Mind-bending and brilliant . . . an astonishing range of modes: vaudeville humour, tragic romance, philosophical speculation . . . it fizzes with intellectual energy, verbal pyrotechnics and satiric flair. It is a late-career tour de force (Sunday Times)

Assured and visually striking (Independent)

Ambitious, finely wrought, posing questions that cut to the heart of identity and storytelling (Daily Mail)

[Doctorow] is a brilliant, careful observer . . . he has a poet's flair (Times Literary Supplement)

Assured in combining the historical and grand with the ordinary and affecting - this is clearly an E. L. Doctorow novel . . . For more than five decades, Doctorow has written novels that jolt American history to life (New Statesman)

A sort of Portnoy's Complaint for the brain. Funny, thought-provoking and profound. (Financial Times)

A literary imagination that is still probing its capacities. Doctorow, in his ninth decade, is clearly not happy to rest on those considerable laurels (Telegraph)
