engaging, disturbing and sometimes genuinely funny . . . testament to his skill as a writer.

Egger's caricature is sharply observed.

Utterly hysterical

A shattering, hilarious, spellbinding siren call from the deck of one of our greatest storytellers and prophets.

There is a peculiar kind of cathartic feeling that comes from desperate, worried laughter. This kept happening to me while reading this book. The Captain and the Glory is completely absurd and true. It is as funny as it is scarily reflective of our times and current president. Eggers has given us an essential American satire, a depiction of this administration that doesn't simply deny it as an abomination-which it is-but carries us through an illustration of a parallel imaginary world that delights and defames and is just so good and funny.

A funny, macabre, and inspired modern fable about a boat and its captain. If there is any further metaphor involved, though, it is totally lost on me

A shattering, hilarious, spellbinding siren call from the deck of one of our greatest storytellers and prophets

Utterly hysterical. This book gets it exactly right - the tone, the form, the kind of naive narrative that implies that all this is perfectly normal. I laughed out loud so frequently I was amazed, because I'm not that easy to make laugh out loud. Bravo

Completely absurd and true. As funny as it is scarily reflective of our times

The enigmatic final instalment of Coetzee's trilogy of novels...is a triumph: subtle, philosophical and playful

Comic, satisfying, thought-provoking, addictive

It's his supreme skill in mastering a lengthily interwoven chronicle, the evolution of such a range and variety of pin-point characters, the wit and the cultural ambition that give the novel a unique place in English literature.

Jade does what uncounted sexual assault survivors have dreamed of doing - she takes matters into her own hands. What ensues is part [...] revenge fantasy, part diabolically well-planned manipulation, and it's all done in lyrical prose that feels dreamy and so much like Shakespeare. A gorgeous, scorchingly emotional novel

This revenge fantasy told from the point of view of a rape survivor will shock and awe.

THIS BOOK WILL BE YOUR NEXT OBSESSION. Welcome to the Hazel Wood, where bad luck is a living thing, princesses are doomed, and every page contains a wondrously terrible adventure - it's not safe inside these pages, but once you enter, you may never want to leave.

Katz's debut is one that will have readers gripped from the very first words until the last - and a book that will stay with you for a long while afterwards.

[A] smart debut, both compelling and disturbing, delivered with the kind of confidence that makes me keen to see what Katz will come up with next.

[G]ripping debut … Here’s a page-turner you’ll devour before the week is out

A razor sharp psychological deconstruction of the motivations, regrets and secrets behind a picture-perfect façade.

White-knuckle ride

I really wanted to just press the book into anyone’s hands and say ‘please read this’! [...] An important read

Readers hungry for an in-depth study of a man searching for control, power and ownership will find satisfaction in A Good Man. But caveat emptor - this story inevitably hurtles at the end towards a chilling finale

This stellar debut from Ani Katz had us gripped from the beginning.
