Reviews
"No One Writes Back has the trappings of the avant garde - the carefully affectless style, the way it is told in numbered paragraphs - but in terms of the emotional impact it delivers, it is, in its way, as sentimental as The Old Curiosity Shop. All I can say, in a rather dazed fashion, is read it - you'll love it." -The Guardian "No One Writes Back is a beautiful gem of a work which works its slow magic on you..." -London Korean Links
