'The Thousand Deaths Of Mr Small is the best novel that Gerald
Kersh has yet written... Charles Small, successful advertising
expert and miserable man, turns over in his mind the 'stinking,
sour, stagnant, untransmitted mass' which is his life... This book
has a rich, warm quality; long and full of detail, it teems with
humour, satire, incident, character; in a word, with life.'
Yorkshire Post 'It see-saws from side-splitting dialogue to such
catalogues of loathing and revulsion as have rarely been seen in
print, from outrageous farce to sudden compassion for the Smalls of
this world, who find Hell enough in 'the eternal contemplation of
themselves as they made themselves.'' New York Herald Tribune 'With
brilliant descriptive power and an emetic vocabulary, [Kersh] has
produced a tormented and forceful work.' Commonweal
