'A brilliant and breathless performance &vintage Burgess & The whole performance stuns.' The Boston Globe 'Readers will howl with laughter a wickedly amusing book.' The Atlantic Monthly 'Resurrected by popular request & Enderby the poet stalks about in this fourth Enderby novel, the mouthpiece, as usual, of his author's concern for language and sardonic, sometimes sour appraisal of modern popular culture & Burgess displays the uncanny ear for dialect for which he is noted and, with customary bravado, opens and closes his story with Will Shakespeare himself.' Publishers Weekly 'Enderby / Burgess is an absolutely hilarious and sage observer of people, language and life: There are at least a dozen moments in this short book which will make you laugh out loud.' San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle 'Enderby is one of Burgess' funniest literary inventions, combining verbal virtuosity with world-class eccentricity.' Houston Post 'Literate, funny and smart.' Playboy 'Here is a writer who can make the plausible comic and the comic plausible. In the process he enriches our sense of what it means to enjoy life.' San Diego Union
