Review
"None of Mr Barnes's previous work... has quite prepared us for the bewildering maturity of Staring at the Sun...it dazzles in depth" (Harpers & Queen)
"Brilliant... Mr Barnes's work is at the forefront of a new internationalization of British fiction" (New York Times)
"A remarkable and risk-taking book, breezily philosophical and light-fingered, funny and also genuinely affecting in that it touches both the heart and the head" (Glasgow Herald)
