* It's almost more like music than reading, a prose that is not in any way poetic, but operates to a unique rhythm... Cooper packs more into his pages than almost anyone. -- Toby Litt Independent on Sunday * America's most daring novelist. The Face * Cooper's brilliance as a writer is in somehow making the inarticulate so damn articulate. Moving and shocking, elegiac and disturbing, very funny and very sad. -- Tim Teeman The Times * The prose acts like small hammer blows against the skull. Buy its blood-soaked end, the book seems a miracle of empathy, leaving you slightly nauseous but very clear. Time Out
