Review:
"Fast-paced and breathless...Galgut has a knack for the image that cuts to the quick of a character...his plots seem propelled by a logic of their own." (The Observer)
"Spellbinding." (The Sunday Telegraph)
"Outstanding...[Galgut is] a major writer worthy to be referred to as a kindred spirit of the great Coetzee...The Impostor, with its bleak balancing of boyhood hopes and adult regret, is a great novel." (The Irish Times)
"In one sense, The Impostor is a conventional crime caper, the story of an innocent man who gets sucked into a world that he doesn't understand. In another, it is a critique of contemporary South Africa, a country that, as Galgut depicts it, is beset with cruelty and a spirit of brutish materialism. But there is a third level on which the novel works, that of the fable or parable... Galgut's plots seem propelled by a logic of their own." (The Observer)
