Poetic, tender, joyous. - Guardian
Heartbreaking... You suspect this uniquely troubling writer is far from done yet. - Observer
Louis' project, at once aesthetic and political, is..."to create a new language for the left", capable of articulating contemporary working-class experience. - New Statesman
Tash Aw's sensitive translation captures the vividness of Louis's voice... Movingly, the book demonstrates the pain that moving from one social class to another entails. - Times Literary Supplement
A tenderness of observation... translated into English with unobtrusive flair by Tash Aw. - New York Times
