Earthly Powers (Paperback)

Crowded, crammed, bursting with manic erudition, garlicky puns, omnilingual jokes... which meshes the real and personalised history of the twentieth century -- Martin Amis
Burgess is the great postmodern storehouse of British writing-an important experimentalist; an encyclopaedic amasser, but also a maker of form; a playful comic, with a dark gloom -- Malcolm Bradbury
Enormous imagination and vitality - a huge book in every way * Sunday Times *
A hellfire tract thrown down by a novelist at the peak of his powers * The Times *
In all ways, a remarkable book -- Paul Theroux
