A masterpiece
*The Times*
Flanagan's masterpiece
*Washington Post*
Lyrical and hilarious, tender and wildly angry by turns, it
dazzlingly reconceives the form of the novel
*Observer*
Gould's Book of Fish is a novel about fish in the way that
Moby-Dick is a novel about whales, Ulysses is a novel about the
events of a single day
*New York Times*
A vivid, voluptuous, exhilarating writer
*Sunday Telegraph*
Hugely original... Passages burn with the intense pleasure of
story-making, of the abandon that comes from a seething of ideas
and their joyful mutation into words
*Guardian*
A seamless masterpiece of the grotesque
*Independent on Sunday*
Outstanding
*Spectator*
As beautiful to look at as it was enthralling to read
*Independent*
Hugely involving, clever, witty and tender
