*Guardian*
Heartbreaking... You suspect this uniquely troubling writer is far
from done yet.
*Observer*
Louis' project, at once aesthetic and political, is..."to create a
new language for the left", capable of articulating contemporary
working-class experience.
*New Statesman*
Tash Aw's sensitive translation captures the vividness of Louis's
voice... Movingly, the book demonstrates the pain that moving from
one social class to another entails.

A tenderness of observation... translated into English with
unobtrusive flair by Tash Aw.
*New York Times*
