One of my three or four favourite modern writers - a wise, funny, alert and original novelist who has never disappointed.

Jonathan Coe, Guardian

Crumey is a sensitive writer... He has a sharp wit and taps the sort of deep, rich vein of comedy accessible only to authors who respect their own characters.

Hilary Mantel, New York Times

Crumey's work asks the biggest questions there are - and manages to connect political, scientific and philosophical ideas in a way that isn't possible for many people in a culture that seems keen to split these subjects into "disciplines".

Scarlett Thomas, Independent

Crumey is described as a postmodernist, but he isn't anything so terrifying: he's simply reviving that old Enlightenment pastime, the philosophical jeu d'esprit.
