Anmeldelser
«A delicious exercise in satire and self-parody... His best ever»
Daily Telegraph
«The outlaw of French letters returns with an acerbic riff on art and celebrity... witty, wildly erudite»
The Times

Evening Standard
«This book, so beautifully written, so inspiriting for all its pessimism, is the new novel I have loved best this year. We have not his equal»
David Sexton, Spectator
«Impressive... Beguiling... He is a true original»
Observer
