Recenzii
'To write one unique book is a rare achievement. The ability to produce several is truly special'
'A demented, deadpan comic wonder'
'Writers that always spring to mind when reading Magnus Mills are Kafka and Beckett ... Mills asserts himself as [comedy]'s blackest, funniest and most astute practitioner'
'While the novel undoubtedly harbours darker elements, its most successful mode is deadpan humour ... he squelches mankind's confident madness, deftly and comically fuses the monotonous and the monstrous'
