"A wonderfully diverting and stimulating entertainment. Cunningly
structured and as satisfying as an intricate piece of clockwork, it
plays with narrative, revels in ideas and succeeds in being both
fey and sharp, detached and compassionate. At a time when fiction
gives all to the tired virtual realities of sex and violence,
internets, Agas and middle-class Angst, it is a brilliant reminder
of the power of the imagination to surprise, delight and open
windows."David Coward in The Times Literary Supplement"Crumey does
produce excellent post-modernist novels, each as concentric and
cunning as the others. This is a triptych starting with D'Alembert
penning his imagined memoirs. The literary equivalent of an Escher,
the story has no identifiable end or beginning. Clever,
entertaining, engaging"
