Andrew's Brain by E L Doctorow
The brilliant new novel by an American master
Thirty-nine years after Ragtime, Doctorow is still at it; still ambitious, still sinuous, intimate, conversational -- Jane Smiley * Guardian *
Mind-bending and brilliant. . an astonishing range of modes: vaudeville humour, tragic romance, philosophical speculation . . . it fizzes with intellectual energy, verbal pyrotechnics and satiric flair. It is a late-career tour de force * Sunday Times *
Assured and visually striking * Independent *
Ambitious, finely wrought, posing questions that cut to the heart of identity and storytelling * Daily Mail *
[Doctorow] is a brilliant, careful observer . . . he has a poet's flair * Times Literary Supplement *
Assured in combining the historical and grand with the ordinary and affecting - this is clearly an E. L. Doctorow novel . . . For more than five decades, Doctorow has written novels that jolt American history to life * New Statesman *
A sort of Portnoy's Complaint for the brain. Funny, thought-provoking and profound. * Financial Times *
A literary imagination that is still probing its capacities. Doctorow, in his ninth decade, is clearly not happy to rest on those considerable laurels * Telegraph *
