Karoo (Paperback)

Karoo has all the ingredients of a truly great novel. Its plot has the pathos of a Greek tragedy and enough twists and turns to satisfy the most avid Raymond Chandler fan. The characters come alive as soon as they appear on the page. Fantastic - Literary Review

Utterly wonderful... This novel does supremely what novels were invented to do - it confronts the most unbearable sadness with a comic exhilaration that makes you almost pleased that life is tragic - Howard Jacobson

Mordantly funny, unexpectedly moving and brutally honest about the business of making movies - Richard E Grant

Fascinating. A real satiric invention, loaded with wise outrage - Arthur Miller

Terrific. Nakedly honest, a tour de force of self-destruction. As Saul spirals into free-fall we're with him all the way, because he's so furiously funny - Deborah Moggach
