'Lewis' eccentric memoir-cum-biography will be read long after Burgess' own works have vanished into oblivion.' Mail on Sunday 'There are passages of such brilliance - especially when he rails against his subject . . . he certainly brings new life to what can otherwise seem a rather tame genre.' Lyn Barber, New Statesman Books of the Year 'The book abounds with such sublime moments of resurrection, on the wings of Lewis' mordant humour. The two of them wrestle for every page, and so do the main text and extensive footnotes which open like trapdoors onto unexpected worlds.' Duncan Falowell, The Times
