'A real giantA great, great writer' Jonathan Safran Foer 'The Finkler Question is wonderful. A blistering portrayal of a funny man who at last confronts the darkness of the world' Beryl Bainbridge Praise for The Act of Love:'It is an almost frighteningly brilliant achievement. Why did the Booker judges not recognise it? Scaredy-cats' Nicholas Lezard, Guardian 'Naked, haunting, unflinching. Its account of sexual obsession is frightening, painful and finally very moving. A tour de force' Harold Pinter
