Review:

'My favourite book. I can't think of a modern novel that seems more likely to become an imperishable work, which I suppose means a classic.' - Tennessee Williams; 'One of the finest modern writers of fiction in any language.' - New York Times; 'Extremely funny fantasy... It knocks our Chelsea writers into oblivion.' - Observer; 'A landmark in 20th-century literature.' - Alan Sillitoe

Book Description:
