Recensioner i media

"A master class in interlocking character sketches, and a fable on the themes of sex, death and writing pitched somewhere between the fictional universes of JM Coetzee and Milan Kundera" Guardian "Delightful...a meditation, on the art of writing, the relationship between literature and life, between life and death...the work of a master. A book you are likely to return to" Scotsman "Oz writes with fluency and a sly humour" Daily Mail "A playful and meditative examination of old age, literary posterity and the juxtaposition between literature and real life" Metro "Beautifully balanced between humour and sorrow" Literary Review
