What the Critics Say...

"One of those books that is influential beyound all commercial measure ... it is pleasant for the Anglophone reader to run into so many texts written originally in English - and yet capable of leaping out at you in the most unexpected way. It's a testament to originality, to defiance of convention, a revolt against sentimentality, and if you ever used the term "black humour" yourself, or expressed a liking for it, then you really ought to have this on your shelf."
Guardian
