Critics Review
A love story of charm and substance, brimming over with ideas, yet anchored in emotional truth. The plot is as labyrinthine as any by Umberto Eco … Extremely witty … Dip into this book at random and the chances are it will sit up and bite you like a rattlesnake * Sunday Telegraph *
The most lavishly ambitious American novel since Gravity’s Rainbow … An outright marvel * Washington Post *
The Gold Bug Variations has everything … Stunning … Almost every sentence is a heroic tour de force … The joy to be taken in reading the book is, like the pleasure of studying crystal multiplication, in seeing a pattern swarm mosaically over everything, watching a stencil laid over life * New York Times *
One of the best writers working now * Audrey Niffenegger *
Powers has triumphantly restored … the philosophical novel * Observer *
