Rezension zu „Idiopathy “
"A savagely brilliant novel ... Brimming with comic brio and nuanced psychological insight, 'Idiopathy' signals the arrival of an exciting new talent ... If 'Idiopathy' was half as fun to write as it is to read I suspect Mr Byers found some happiness along the way." David Annand, Sunday Telegraph "Brilliant ... a mordantly riveting first novel about what it's like to be a thirtysomething" John Lanchester, Observer "Laced with satirical verve ... this is a savagely funny debut from a gifted, cynical new voice." Joseph Charlton, FT "Will make you purr with delight. It's well observed, light on its feet and never less than entertaining, with elegant ruminations on sex, love and loneliness that offset by some sublime comic riffs on the state of the nation." Sebastian Shakespeare, Tatler "Scabrously funny, beadily vigilant and often piercingly perceptive ... it's hard to fault the enthusiasm with which Byers goes about his task, or the vicious wit he brings to it." Trevor Lewis, Sunday Times "Page by page, an almost indecently entertaining book. Byers goes beyond being merely a talented comic novelist ... insights bring the deeper laughs - and they are what allow him to turn the corner, as the novel reaches its climax, into something altogether more poignant and more serious." Sam Leith, TLS "A howling dig at cultural myopia and a more serious examination of its source ... For all his lacerating one-liners, Byers's real skill is the pathos achieved through bleakness." Catherine Taylor, Guardian "Who knows what caused this hilarious, observant, and provocative novel, but I'm glad it happened. Sam Byers exhibits serious talent in his debut." Sam Lipsyte, author of The Ask "Idiopathy made me feel even WORSE about my generation, all while laughing hysterically, busting my gut, going to the hospital. It also features a delightful protagonist and the unexplainable British town of Norwich." Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story
