Review

An off-beat, brisk and darkly comic new novel. Robert Irwin is a
deft writer with a fine ironic touch.
-- Brooke Allen, The New York Times

Exquisite Corpse is among the most adventurous, ambitious and
daring novels published so far this decade. -- Nicholas Royale, Time Out

It is both funny and intense. A.S. Byatt campaigned for the novel
to win the 1995 Booker prize. -- Myfanwy Bowering, Buzz Magazine

Robert Irwin is a master of the surreal imagination...full of
astonishing insights and hilarious pretensions. Superb. -- Ian Critchley, The Sunday Times

Robert Irwin's novel about English surrealism is funny and
profound and hugely satisfying. -- A.S. Byatt, Sunday Times Books of the Year
