Recensione

A breakthrough book...satisfying and surprising...powerfully imagined (INDEPENDENT)

Real talent (M John Harrison)

What Royle has in common with Sinclair (and Jonathan Coe) is that his novel is cineliterate ...The new British fiction is marked by the cinema as profoundly as Graham Greene's, and is all the better for it (LITERARY REVIEW)

It is a characteristic of Royle's stories that they attempt to give once-inhabited places a mysterious, paranoid significance, and it is the specific juxtaposition of factual geography with fictional events that creates such a haunting effect. (TLS)
