Recensioner i media

“Lord Malquist & Mr. Moon takes place in dream-London, where everything is seen through a haze of despair, and cowboys and a coach-and-pair and a pet lion wander with innumerable others through the plot, giving it a kind of child-like surrealism. It manages to be sad without being sentimental, and to give its fantasies a wit and exactness that make them fruitful and rewarding.” —The Sunday Telegraph“Zany, aphoristic and flashy . . . a remarkable entertainment, remarkably funny.” —The Washington Post
