"A meditation on time, memory, friendship and
identity. It overturns the clichéd perception of America and
gives a new depth to something which is often treated
sensationally. Cartwright has a real talent for getting to the heart
of different cultures and how we live now."
The judges of the Whitbread Prize for Best Novel
'Such a complex and rewarding novel is only what you would expect from such a talented and original writer'
Evening Standard
'A vividly exceptional performance, both for the poetry of its descriptions and the largeness of its themes. It is an off-kilter study of America, from Jefferson to serial killers, and a meditation on the way people cope with death and the lack of meaning in life'
Sunday Times
'A book which is itself individual; eloquent, tender, as well as sharply observant and funny'
Sunday Telegraph
'Excellent . . . sharply written episodes abound'
Mail on Sunday
'In Cartwright's skilful hands the ordinariness of circumstances is always juxtaposed with something so extraordinary that no doubt is left as to why his story has to be told'
Daily Telegraph
'LEADING THE CHEERS represents an accomplished, and often entertaining, engagement with the paradoxical nature of the relationship between individuality and community'
Times Literary Supplement
Dan Silas returns to America for his high school reunion where he makes some unexpected discoveries. His former girlfriend tells him that her daughter was his child and Dan's oldest friend has suffered a breakdown and now believes himself to be the reincarnation of an Indian chief. In an attempt to make sense of these disturbing facts, Dan digs further into their lives, with both tragic and comic results.
LEADING THE CHEERS is a rich portrayal of small-town life with wonderfully evoked characters and
Justin Cartwright's beautifully observed writing.
