"It is a delightful introduction to Crumey's singularly riddling
work -- an intermezzo that doubles as an overture." -- Stuart
Kelly, The Scotsman
"The Great Chain of Unbeing is unboring, unusual and quite
brilliant." -- Adam Roberts, The Literary Review
"This is a book bursting with fertile fusions of ideas by this
Scottish Borges." --The Sunday Herald
