Revue de presse

"Vurt hasn't lost a shred of its originality or power ... With the entire world on drugs, things are understandably dystopian, but the legitimate human emotion keeps everything grounded and adds a real beauty, like a rainbow reflected in an oil slick ... Vurt was already essential reading, as much in 2013 as in 1993."
