Revue de presse :

"A brilliant novel. It is sadly comic and comically sad" (Anthony Burgess)

"He was a genuine comic writer, probably the best after P. G. Wodehouse ... He had a lasting influence and was a very good novelist" (John Mortimer)

"A bloody funny lovely bloody book... A genius at full throttle" (Financial Times)

"In these explicit days, Mr Amis is the laureate of the unsayable, the literary it man" (Sunday Telegraph)
