An impressive tale of love and death in wartime...much contemporary fiction seems inconsequential and fleeting by comparison

Edric handles the many characters and threads of this complex novel with skill...[his] consistent brilliance is astounding

His descriptions are masterful

A novel of a particular time and place, but one that poses timeless questions...Very satisfying...He is at his best here

Compelling...Edric has a flawless sense of pace, and an intuitive grasp of character

This compelling, unsettling work brilliantly conveys the ambiguities of operating in this defeated, difficult country

This novel should carry a warning: its appeal will be greatest for fans either of Wagner and European history, or of politics and philosophy

What Nazism owed to the British Empire fascinates Wilson, and his invention of Hitler's Americanised offspring invites us to relive the macabre history while acknowledging our own uncomfortable complicity in it... Bravely ambitious

Winnie and Wolf is a novel rich in philosophical reference - Nietzsche, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, thorny as you like - and ruminative pleasures

Wilson's achievement is startling... Most contemporary English fiction looks rather etiolated and pointless by comparison

It would be hard to name a more ambitious recent work of fiction... Wilson brilliantly evokes Wagner's music

Wilson has done his research impeccably and he writes superbly well

I constantly find myself drooling with admiration at the sublime way Wodehouse plays with the English language

Quite simply, the master of comic writing at work

To pick up a Wodehouse novel is to find oneself in the presence of genius - no writer has ever given me so much pure enjoyment

Compulsory reading for anyone who has a pig, an aunt - or a sense of humour!

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

The greatest comic writer ever

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

Sublime comic genius
