This is a great collection. The stories surprise, and are full of surprises. They are funny, provocative, clever, charming, and quite brilliantly written.

The Ledge is a terrific novel. The writing is brilliant, the characters are terrific, the plot comes staggering out of that corner where malice, hilarity and sentiment meet and have it out.

This is a powerful, unique book. Sebastian Barry's language is utterly new and quite magnificent; it was like reading English for the first time.

Joseph O'Connor has a great eye for the absurd in common things, a great ear for the comic in ordinary speech. His writing is terrific.

Everything about John the Revelator excited me - I couldn't wait to turn the page and keep going. It was almost like reading for the first time...
