Review:

"Crowded, crammed, bursting with manic erudition, garlicky puns, omnilingual jokes... which meshes the real and personalised history of the twentieth century" (Martin Amis)

"Burgess is the great postmodern storehouse of British writing-an important experimentalist; an encyclopaedic amasser, but also a maker of form; a playful comic, with a dark gloom" (Malcolm Bradbury)

"Enormous imagination and vitality - a huge book in every way" (Sunday Times)

"A hellfire tract thrown down by a novelist at the peak of his powers" (The Times)

"In all ways, a remarkable book" (Paul Theroux)

Book Description:
