Extraordinary
*Sam Mendes*
If something has kept you from reading this great novel in five
parts, let it keep you no more . . . the experience of St Aubyn is
indelible
*Jonathan Franzen*
I've loved Edward St Aubyn's Patrick Melrose novels. Read them all,
now
*David Nicholls*
At once epic and intimate, appalling and comic, the Melrose novels
are masterpieces
*Maggie O'Farrell*
Why did it take me so long to fall in love with the brilliant
novels of Edward St Aubyn
*Brett Easton Ellis*
Humour, pathos, razor-sharp judgement, pain, joy and everything in
between. The Melrose novels are a masterwork for the twenty-first
century, by one of our greatest prose stylists
*Alice Sebold*
Edward St Aubyn is among the handful of the current giants of
English fiction
*Edmund White*
Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation
*Alan Hollinghurst*
The wit of Wilde, the lightness of Wodehouse, the waspishness of
Waugh. A joy
*Zadie Smith*
St Aubyn conveys the chaos of emotion, the confusion of heightened
sensation, and the daunting contradictions of intellectual
endeavour with a force and subtlety that have an exhilarating,
almost therapeutic effect
*Francis Wyndham*
