Critics Review
A novel of tremendous intelligence and poetry. A hymn to all the unacknowledged legislators of the world, which hums with the living ghosts of systems, signals and geometry. – Chloe Aridjis
The Rhyl Poster is an unspooling diagram of one person’s dark corner of everything. Tom McCarthy has brilliantly mapped the insidious abstract spaces that both house and trap us, and hauntingly suggests a way out. – David Musgrave
The high priest of the technological sublime. McCarthy’s latest sifts through the information overload of our age, seeking out patterns, correspondences, transcendence, truth. Language here is an instrument to conjure awe, and the looping, hypnotic prose of The Rhyl Poster offers near-mystical glimpses of the systems underpinning late capitalism even as the plot rattles along like a spy thriller. – Ben Eastham
Unfolds with the velocity of a thriller… Truly new, truly gut-flipping, truly exhilarating and vertiginous’ – Tim MacGabhann
