Reviews

Poetic, tender, joyous.
*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.
*Times Literary Supplement*

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