Recensione
"A grand tour of the fringes of functioning society in England . . . A masterpiece of good writing, human sympathy and fine, understated characterisation . . . Affectionately teasing his subjects, as Dickens does, [Cohn] achieves more for them than hero-worship or vilification ever could." -- Independent on Sunday
"Triumphantly [exposing] England's underbelly in all its grotesque glory, Cohn has the kind of empathetic imagination that can locate and communicate the residual beauty in damaged human beings. He transcribes their whirling thoughts and fantasies into a considered and elegiac poetry." -- Financial Times
"England has never seemed so strange, so poignant, or so exhilarating . . . Perhaps it is his own sense of displacement -- born in Ireland, raised in England and now resident in America -- that lends Cohn a natural sympathy for the outsider. His great gift is not simply his extravagant, firecracker prose, but an ability to insinuate himself into the confidence and under the skin of his subjects; to dissect their foibles, yet leave them with their humanity and dignity intact." -- Daily Telegraph
L'autore
Nik Cohn is the author of Need, a novel, and The Heart of the World, which won the Thomas Cook Award for best travel book of 1992.
