"[A] novel that seems to have been written with the term 'tour de
force' in mind. . . . A brilliant job." —Village Voice Literary
Supplement
"A breakthrough . . . etched with acid irony and trickery . . . To
submit to [Amis's] comic tweaking and tickling is to abet the
inevitable logic of his assault on our senses. . . . Time's
Arrow, his tautest and sleekest novel yet, is also his most
wide-angled and farsighted. . . . A hard look at our dark age
through glittering alien eyes." —Boston Phoenix Literary
Section
"A brilliantly imaginative feat." —Mirabella
"Audacious, utterly poised and almost moving . . . the book's
devastatingly sustained black irony stands comparison with Swift's
A Modest Proposal. It is . . . Amis's finest achievement to date."
—Financial Times
"Amis can write prose that is spikily, nervously elegant, full of
urgency and surprise." —New York
"Prodigious cleverness. . . . A clever book." —Vogue
"Extraordinary—Ironic inversion is essentially a comic device, but
its trickery here yields results that are rigorously grave."
―Independent on Sunday
"An icy, hard read - Amis is at his intriguing, powerful and
heedful best." —Time Out
"Amis's most daring and ambitious novel." ―Daily Telegraph
