Review:

Praise for THE MANDIBLES: A Family, 2029–2047

‘As ever, Shriver cuts close to the bone! . . . Distinctly chilling’ Independent

‘A tale that fizzes with ideas and jokes . . . the comedy is pitch black’ The Times

‘All too chillingly plausible...profoundly frightening’ Observer

‘Shriver is fast becoming the go-to novelist for some of the big issues . . . breezy, mordantly comic . . . if the test of a futuristic novel is its eerie proximity to the present, this passes with flying colours’ Daily Mail

‘A gleeful nightmare, it made me snort with laughter even as I was shuddering’ SARAH WATERS, Best Books of the Summer, Guardian

‘Brilliant satire... frankly terrifying’ SARAH CHURCHWELL, Best Books of the Summer, Guardian

‘Searing... establishes her firmly as the Cassandra of American letters... I don’t remember the last time a novel held me so enduringly in its grip’ The New York Times

‘A powerful work investigating the fragility of the financial world. Prescient, imaginative and funny, it also asks deep questions’ The Economist

‘Impressively sweeping... Shriver’s intelligence, mordant humour and vicious leaps of imagination all combine to make this a novel that is as unsettling as it is entertaining’ Financial Times

‘A sharp social eye and a blistering comic streak ... great, disconcerting fun’ The New Yorker

‘Hilarious and brilliant ... scary in the best possible way’ Elle

‘A provocative and very funny page-turner’ Wall Street Journal

‘Shriver really makes you think about the nature of money . . . By the end, The Mandibles had got under my skin’ Evening Standard

‘It's scaring the hell out of me’ TRACY CHEVALIER

‘A scary, depressing and convincing horror story’ Spectator

‘Insightful and darkly funny’ Good Housekeeping

‘Her verve and ambition are impressive . . . Few writers since William Gaddis in his brilliant JR have had the chutzpah to take on America’s particular money madness’ Mail on Sunday
