Synopsis

Book by Kosinski Jerzy

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"'Not until you put the book down do you realize how chilling is the image of ourselves in Kosinski's mirror...It will survive as a seminal work' " (John Barkham Saturday Review)

"'Chance, a fabulous creature of our age'" (Time)

"'Being There is a reverse parable, highly polished and patterned to the last twitch of the nerves'" (Norman Shrapnel Guardian)

"'A tantalizing knuckle ball of a book delivered with perfectly timed satirical hops and metaphysical flutters'" (R.Z. Sheppard Time)

"'Extremely well written. Under the circumstances, I can only urge as many people as possible to rush out and buy it'" (Auberon Waugh Spectator)
