Critics Review
A beauty… Delillo takes us on a breathtaking journey, beyond the official versions of our daily history, behind all easy assumptions about who we’re supposed to be, with a vision as bold and a voice as eloquent and morally focused as any in American writing – Thomas Pynchon
A work of fiction not merely astonishingly fitting for our times, but rich and rewarding for anyone wishing to understand them * Sunday Times *
