Critics Review

Kehlmann is one of the brightest, most pleasure-giving writers at work today, and he manages all this while exploring matters of deep philosophical and intellectual import. - Jonathan Franzen

Daniel Kehlmann is one of the great novelists for making giant themes seem light - Adam Thirlwell

An astonishing book, a work of deeply satisfying (and never merely clever) complexity … A bona-fide masterpiece - Times Literary Supplement, on F

Kehlmann’s world is fully convincing while being philosophically challenging. He has a hypnotic effect, seducing us with his storytelling while provoking us to find meanings of our own - Saturday Telegraph, on F

This most accomplished, humane and unsettling of novels - Literary Review, on F

What a strange and beautiful novel, hovering on the misty borders of the abstract and the real. - Ian McEwan, on F
