Simon: The Genius in my Basement by Alexander Masters

From the author of Stuart: A Life Backwards; a warm and witty portrait of a harmless, eccentric, bona fide genius.

‘Masters has managed to convey something of the beauty and mystery not just of mathematics but of the human spirit’ Sunday Telegraph

‘Pick of the Paperbacks’ in the Sunday Times; ‘Astonishingly good… gloriously funny and surprising’

‘This book is a complete success … By the end we have come just about to love [Simon]’ Evening Standard

‘Astonishingly good … a glorious book: funny, surprising and completely sui generis’ Sunday Times

‘A wonderful book which shows you don’t have to be ‘normal’ to be happy’ Daily Mail

‘Wholly original’ Mail on Sunday, Book of the Week

‘Exuberant and compelling…This is both a happy and funny book. It is decorated with Masters’ elegant cartoons and his language is lyrical’ FT

‘An absorbing read, with Masters’ deft pen and idiosyncratic style once again in evidence’ The Times, Book of the Week
