Reviews
"A rioutous send-up of scholarly writing. If philosophy seems an unlikely subject for comedy, try this..." - 'Financial Times' "Prodigiously learned, exquisitely malicious, and relentlessly subversive of the 'bien pensant' pieties of our age. This is satire at its best." - 'Sunday Telegraph' "What is original is the working of it into a rich complex, compelling, fluent and natural-seeming fiction, in which each theme and topic seems spontaneously to arise out of its predecessor, and whole to woven together into a convincing vision, unified but not unitary, of the nature and ends of life." - Robert Grant, 'Philosophical Quarterly'
