Reviews

"It is one of the books that reveal their quality from the first line. On every page there is that immediacy all good writing has." -- V. S. Naipaul

"Lusty, violent, wildly funny . . . The Ginger Man is the picaresque novel to stop them all." -- Dorothy Parker

"Nasty and lyrical, a curse that sounds suspiciously like a prayer, this outlandish hybrid of Irish-American letters is still armed and dangerous after thirty years. Sebastian Dangerfield, the lecherous, treacherous, larcenous, and thoroughly charming Ginger Man, appears to be immortal as well as immoral." -- Jay McInerney
