Présentation de l'éditeur :
Cedilla continues the history of John Cromer begun by Pilcrow, described by the London Review of Books as "peculiar, original, utterly idiosyncratic" and by the Sunday Times as "truly exhilarating". These huge and sparkling books are particularly surprising coming from a writer of previously (let's be tactful) modest productivity, who had seemed stubbornly attached to small forms. Now the alleged miniaturist has rumbled into the literary traffic in his monster truck, and seems determined to overtake Proust's cork-lined limousine while it's stopped at the lights. John Cromer is the weakest hero in literature -- unless he's one of the strongest. In Cedilla he launches himself into the wider world of mainstream education, and comes upon deeper joys, subtler setbacks. The tone and texture of the two books is similar, but their emotional worlds are very different. The slow unfolding of themes is perhaps closer to Indian classical music than the Western tradition -- raga/saga, anyone? This isn't an epic novel as such things are normally understood, to be sure. It contains no physical battles and the bare minimum of travel, yet surely it qualifies. None of the reviews of Pilcrow explicitly compared it to a coral reef made of a billion tiny Crunchie bars, but that was the drift of opinion. Page by page, Cedilla too provides unfailing pleasure. It's the book you can read between meals without ruining your appetite.
Revue de presse :
'The most original novel of the year ... The trilogy, when it is finished, will be a great novel about nothing much - and therefore everything.' -- Craig Raine, TLS Books of the Year >> 'Hard to resist... Boldly conceived and written with extraordinary verve and inventiveness... a wholly immersive experience.' -- Peter Parker, Sunday Times >> 'Mars-Jones is a writer of wonderful originality and wit, and the redoubtable John is superb company.' -- Kate Saunders, The Times >> 'We are clearly in the presence of a formidable talent operating at full strength ... There isn t a passage here that doesn t sparkle with some well-phrased perception, neatly overturned cliché or freshly minted pun... [Mars-Jones] has become over the course of three years one of the most industrious and accomplished novelists in Britain. -- Leo Robson, Daily Telegraph >> 'One of the most brilliant fictional projects of recent years.' -- Philip Hensher, Spectator >> 'Cedilla is nudged along... on a tide of ideas, jokes, esoterica, wordplay and vignettes, and it has much to charm the reader... One of the most original comic creations in recent fiction. You won't regret going along for the ride.' -- Alex Clark, Guardian >> 'Mars-Jones is undoubtedly a wonderful writer and in John he has created a fabulously idiosyncratic character.' --Melissa McClements, Financial Times
