Recenzii
"The
very
model
of
the
modern
paranoid
novel."—John
Leonard,New
York
Times
"Unblinking candor informs Waugh's dark, comic vision."—William Boyd,Daily Telegraph
"Waugh's 'portrait of the artist in middle age' . . . is a genuine gothic horror, a gargoyle to terrify anyone who has ever contemplated a literary career. . . . The acid bath so often prepared for others has now found its way into his own tub. . . . Waugh draws an intimate picture of a distinguished author at bay."—Gerald Sykes,New York Times Book Review
"The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfoldis a masterpiece of self-portraiture, one of the very best in English fiction."—John Bailey
"A masterpiece. . . . Waugh's clear-sightedness about himself . . . is something which, in this taut, brilliantly phrased and crafted story, is itself an assertion of order out of chaos."—A. N. Wilson
