Review:

"A marvelously warped book. . . .' -- New York Times

"A vividly intense and almost palpably immediate work of imagination." -- Irish Times

"I think BERG is an excellent answer to all those who think reading novels is a waste of time." -- Books & Bookmen

"If you don't read it then you're not interested in the present and possible future of the English novel." -- Scotsman

"The style is eclectic enough to remind the reader of the New Wave, Beckett, Pinter, and Freud with a headache." -- Library Journal
