Review:
"Bright, racy...knowledgeable and humorous, alternately sensible and quirky." (Terry Eagleton)
"Anthony Burgess's wonderfully well-stocked mind and essentially wayward spirit are just right for summoning up an apparition of the Bard which is more convincing than most" (David Holloway Daily Telegraph)
"Animated by affection and an understanding of the creative imagination that only a creative writer can bring to bear" (Atlantic)
"A smooth-flowing narrative, often enlivened by Anthony Burgess's Joycean appetite for linguistic fantasy" (The Economist)
