Recensioner i media

I discovered The Wasp Factory in the early 1990s and was stunned by its original story and dark humour. I'd not read anything like it before and haven't since. It wielded that raw energy of a first novel but at the same time was confident and accomplished, carving a tricky line between gritty reality and surreal comedy. It gave me a sense of unease over whether I was immersed in truth or fantasy, while at the same time knowing I was being guided by a masterly storyteller... most of all this book floored me with its astounding twists - that feeling of not having seen something that was there all along has never left me
