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
