Critics Review
’ The Dinner is a masterful, disturbing piece of theatre.’
‘Herman Koch is rapidly becoming one of my favourite writers. His three novels, taken together, are like a killer EP where every track kicks ass.’ * Stephen King *
‘Chilling, nasty, smart, shocking and unputdownable.’ * Gillian Flynn on The Dinner *
‘The Dinner is a riveting, compelling and deliciously uncomfortable read… both a punch to the guts and…a tonic. It clears the air. A wonderful book.’ * Christos Tsiolkas *
‘Blackly funny, full of sharp edges and hot issues, and compulsively readable. Verdict: feast on this.’ * Herald Sun on The Dinner *
‘The Dinner is a masterful, disturbing piece of theatre.’ * Age/SMH *
