Critics Review
One hears Joyce and Beckett and Paul Muldoon in the background. Not because there is any borrowing, but because all alike draw from that same dazzling tradition of oral storytelling * Mark Bowles *
Yet again Patrick McCabe summons the ghost of Flann O’Brien in this wild rollick of a novel … Wonderful, shape-shifting stuff * Colum McCann *
Thunderously compelling and downright ecstatic … This is nothing less than the work of a genuine master, a must-read * Billy O’Callaghan *
Wild, anarchic, and wonderfully head-spinning * Neil Jordan *
[A] legendary behemoth of Irish literature’ * RTÉ *
McCabe is truly original * Elaine Feeney *
