Recensione:
With insight and seemingly effortless fluidity, Mr Galgut has written a beautiful, and at times funny, novel that movingly captures the duality of one of Britain's most thoughtful authors. --Economist
Galgut is extremely good on Forster's anxieties, his loneliness, his unworldliness... The portrait is beautifully nuanced, a mixture of bold, colourful strokes and delicate little flicks of the brush. --Sunday Times
It is a project to which Galgut, whose fiction has often covered the terrain of love, race and politics, seems perfectly suited as a writer... A remarkable, lyrical tribute. --Guardian
Galgut has so seamlessly incorporated Forster's diaries, letters and novels into his narrative that it is often hard to tell which novelist is which. --Daily Telegraph
A masterly piece of fiction. Delicate and detailed. --Daily Mail
A decorous, ambling, old-fashioned novel. --Spectator
Galgut has dealt with this rather dull life with cunning intelligence. --Scotsman
Galgut's knowledge of his subject seems completely absorbed. --Independent
