Recenzii
Shot through with Banks' trademark humour, political engagement and hope
A quietly incendiary piece of writing, at times heartbreaking, at other times really wonderfully funny... a profoundly humane, funny and smart novel
Wonderfully exuberant... written with the life-enhancing verve characteristic of Banks' best work
Infallibly entertaining
In Banks we had a novelist of supreme subtlety and one who, in fiction as in life, and for all the concentrated horror of his debut novel, all the epic estrangements of his 'skiffy' (sci-fi), and all the grimness of his final months, had an irrepressible sense of fun that is evident on every page of The Quarry
This is a novel that's perched at the dangerous edge of things, looking down. It's an urgent novel and an important one
Vintage Banks, full of heart, black comedy and vitriol
A compelling, raw book
Banks' handling of big, complex themes is skilful and satisfying, and he concludes on a quietly moving note of compassion
Banks's relaxed fluency - the direct, funny, unpretentious intelligence of his writing... along with his teeming imagination, made him perhaps Britain's best-loved major contemporary novelist
A novel shot through with Banks's trademark humour, political engagement and hope.
A compelling, raw book
