Recenzii
“Flusfeder’s farcical morality tale is darkly comedic but also surprisingly sweet in all the right places.” — Booklist
“A witty, razor sharp novel, with just the right amount of tenderness.” — Publishers Weekly
“The best book you’ll give yourself all year. Don’t waste it on anyone else—they don’t deserve it.’ — Will Self
“Unexpectedly wise and generous: a complete story and a very good one.” — Jonathan Franzen
“A compelling, provokingly ambivalent and often surprisingly tender story.” — London Times
“Piercingly well-written..a psychological thriller, a meditation on the barrenness of modern, material life [and] a gloomily funny novel.” — Sunday Express (London)
“Flusfeder is certainly doing something different from and more interesting than most contemporary British novelists.” — Independent (UK)
“A deep and surreal exposition on the cruelty of generosity...the perfect present for your successful friends.” — London Times (Sunday)
“The perfect gift to answer all gifts...remarkably perceptive...a triumph.” — Observer (UK)
“Flusfeder spins reality into a dream and back again...[giving] us a gift he may find hard to match.” — Guardian
“A moving, desperate farce in which the gifts and their consequences keep on coming...a dashingly written comic novel.” — Saturday Telegraph (London)
“A black comedy of rare originality...[that] has the makings of a cult classic. Read it and read it again.” — Mail on Sunday (London)
“An extremely funny book. Seldom has the desperation of modern man been so devastatingly portrayed. — Marie Claire (UK)
