Redgrove's language can light up the page

Redgrove is thunderously, exhilaratingly good

He is recognised today as one of the few poets capable of sustained rapture, a heirophant of alchemical mysteries, chronicler of sexual ecstasies, witness to sensual, synaesthetic delights beyond the reach of most of us

Redgrove's strengths are a clairvoyant creativity, glittering images and glittering risk...wonderful imaginative leaps of seeing, glancing epiphanies...or sustained surrealities which etch the surprisingness of the world

I would use the old-fashioned term 'genius' of Redgrove

Naguib Mahfouz's wonderfully readable family saga provides a riveting and accurate portrait of Egyptian society

His masterpiece

'Acidic and unforgiving...This hilariously accurate skewering of the mores - and the morons - of Hollywood left a deliciously vile taste in my mouth, and I loved it!

'Irrestistably engaging'

'Witty and intelligent...just the thing for a lazy summer day'

Genuine wit and charm

Witty novel about life and love after divorce, Hollywood-style.

A bitchy and entertaining look at life in La-La Land

A perfect poolside read
