Lisa Halliday's Asymmetry is elegant, funny, ingenious, profound and wildly enjoyable. You'll read it in one sitting, only pausing now and again to check the endpapers and confirm that this is indeed a first novel. I loved, admired and envied this novel. It's a wonder

Bra spännande språk men den hänger inte ihop. Hajpen kring den känns mest som skvallerlystnad pga kopplingen till Roth. Halliday kan bättre än såhär.
