[Barnes] is always clever, often original and unusually funny...
Elizabeth Finch...offers plenty to chew on...with barely a sentence
in it that doesn't have some nutritional value.
*The Times*
A singular tale.
*Daily Mail, *Books to Look Out For 2022**
Everything Barnes writes changes everything... Barnes's latest
novel, must be read at least twice for the full force of its
voltage to be felt... A cryptic crossword of a novel, Elizabeth
Finch is a tricksier and even brainier version of Flaubert's
Parrot.
*Oldie*
The book's central and most enthralling section...deals with a
figure EF esteemed as a kindred spirit: Julian the Apostate... A
bravura exercise in nimbly handled erudition... [Elizabeth Finch]
also celebrates the cast of mind Barnes most prizes. A connoisseur
and master of irony himself, he fills this book with instances of
its exhilarating power.
*Sunday Times*
Elizabeth Finch ranks alongside Barnes' best.
