Review
"One of the great English novels of recent years, a work of sublime literary realism, and a blackly comic meditation on the sins and sorrows of modernity" -- Rachel Cusk "Wonderfully dark" * The Times * "A terrific debut, written in a present tense which flashes every so often into the past - a trick which Szalay pulls off with confidence... a tense and compelling read" * Independent * "A funny, painful, graphic demonstration that our job is a crucial part of our identity.... It's compulsively readable" * Independent on Sunday * "Szalay's satire is sharp, though his depictions of rush-hour raise the blood pressure to levels that are not advisable" -- Nicholas Lezard * Guardian *
