Reviews

"'The funniest book I've read all year... it's a riot... Novelists in Professor Sutherland's hands are, above all, lively company' (Evening Standard) 'FT Books of the Year: The fruit of decades of reading and research... A witty, and enjoyably wide-ranging book.' (Carl Wilkinson, FT) 'Sutherland is perfect for this job - all pith and wit... He has made a tricky job look easy' (The Dubliner)"
