«A triumph»
«Sharp and witty, expertly paced, frequently horrific and often very funny»
«An unusually classy thriller, true to life and not to be missed»
«Entertaining black humour»
«Tim Parks presents the real, virginal, boastful, cracked Morris lurking behind his own justifications as matters turn lethal and ugly. Clever, blandly humorous and utterly immoral»
Born in Manchester, Tim Parks grew up in London and studied at Cambridge and Harvard. In 1981 he moved to Italy where he has
lived ever since. He is the author of novels, non-fiction and essays, including Europa, Cleaver, A Season with Verona and
Teach Us to Sit Still. He has won the Somerset Maugham, Betty Trask and Llewellyn Rhys awards, and been shortlisted for the
Booker Prize. He lectures on literary translation in Milan, writes for publications such as the New Yorker and the New York
Review of Books, and his many translations from the Italian include works by Moravia, Calvino, Calasso, Tabucchi and Machiavelli.
