Howard Jacobson is one of the funniest writers alive… His writing pulsates with nerve and edge; it is colossal in its comic precision; at its best it simply tears you apart * The Times *Lucky Jim undated… Witty, observant, clever, a first-rate entertainment and something more besides * Guardian *Jacobson’s humour is unashamedly savage and his jokes as sharp as a switch-blade… comic vitriol worthy of Evelyn Waugh * Sunday Express *The funniest book I’ve ever read… Every line is funny in a cutting, clever way – Sophie Hannah * Daily Express *Every word of this novel rings true, and nothing is funnier than the truth. But as a master of creating laughter on the edge of pain, Jacobson also likes us to think – Rosalind Miles * Week *
