Recenzii
Justin
Cartwright
is
one
of
our
best
novelists
Few living British novelists write English fiction quite as well as Cartwright
One of our finest novelists
This is Cartwright at his best, delivering a strong story with skill and feeling
Cartwright is as accomplished as anyone writing fiction today
He's very good. He has such control, every sentence. Such ease.
A story where emotions are inescapably linked to the land of one's birth and paradise is spoilt by the worm in the bud. Brilliant
Cartwright's writing is coolly elegant and laconic ... and there are vivid historical flashbacks, cleverly imagined
The tension is maintained between Frank's elegiac internal monologues, the dramatic beauty of South Africa and the brief interludes when we hear the deluded Jaco's voice. Celebration is undermined by horror but in this intriguing novel, Cartwright says that is the nature of South Africa
Rich and strange .Up Against the Nightwith its subversive mix of tenderness and terror, is a rare novel that gets South Africa right
In this fine novel, Justin Cartwright proves once again just why he is among the foremost novelists in the English language . This is an elegantly written, cleverly plotted and many layered novel
As always, Cartwright draws you into his characters' lives, the smug security of wealth undermined by the lurking threat of violence. This is up there with his best
The master of the erudite soft touch, Cartwright is on masterly form
[a] juxtaposition of beauty and savagery
Evoking Coetzee'sDisgraceand Gordimer'sThe House Gun, Cartwright brings new twists and a sure touch to his tragicomedy about a decent man's rude awakening to shared history's capricious side.
Wryly witty and drily critical of the political powers-that-be, Cartwright - in person and on the page - hits his satirical targets with a satisfying "ping"
Combines beauty, joy, and foreboding
Cartwright's tale of the confrontation of national and personal identities is unblinking - at times beautiful and full of love, at others, lonely and desperate
Cartwright's characterisation is excellent and he writes observantly about a society where violence is never far beneath the surface
