The range of Griffiths’s achievement is as exhilarating as the reach of his ambition

Kelly + Victor is a book breathing at the limits of experience, its protagonists martyrs to feeling in a world gone numb

With Kelly + Victor Griffiths has completed his transition into a literary voice for the 21st century

A story as forceful as a bullet. It leaves you breathless. High voltage literature.

A brilliant debut

First-rate

In a wonderful, lively, insightful and heartbreaking love story, Harper allows Shakespeare's secret wife, Anne Whateley, to narrate her colorful, lusty story.

Witty enough to make you laugh out loud, but there are moments of real emotion that keep the book from being too light

A superb ear for dialogue...wonderfully comic

Riotously high in laughs and glamour. I defy a festive grump not to be cheered by it

Fast-paced and funny

Influenced by magical realism and the cool prose of modernism, first-time author Chloe Aridjis takes the best from each
