One of the best books of the year… ambitious, intelligent and gripping… an expertly slick thriller… Kushner pulls off a remarkable feat – Philip Womack * Spectator *Rachel Kushner may have written the novel of the year… A remarkably original book – Rachel Connolly * The Telegraph *Kushner is one of America’s greatest living authors * Daily Telegraph *A novel of ideas about nothing less than civilisation itself, delivered in the guise of a thriller – the result is profound and wickedly entertaining * Guardian *At last I get to say how deeply, madly, irrecoverably I loved Creation Lake...it was all stylish and cool, and then somehow the book struck a blow to my heart, which surprised me a lot, because I did not suspect what Rachel Kushner was really up to all along. – Louise Erdrich * Kirkus *Hugely enjoyable… Creation Lake is a smart, funny novel that dares to contemplate the void of uncertainty where we all stand * Sunday Times, Book of the Week *A philosophical novel of ideas wrapped up in a spy caper… Irresistible * Guardian *A dazzling, genre-defying novel, satirical yet profound * Spectator *
