Recenzii
Joyous, a shot across the bows . . . writing as rapture, as giddy delight
An astonishing book - funny and moving, playful and shocking. It is what one hopes for in a modern novel, and yet it confounds all expectations. It is complex. It is beautiful. It is exhilarating. It is fiction at its most artful
A beguiling page-turner ... a brilliant creation. To readThe Accidentalis to be excited from first to last
Smith's novels fizz with pyrotechnic prose, whirl-wind openings, bewitching invention
