Reviews

A brave, persuasive novel -- Jose-Carlos Mainer * El Pais * Only Cercas could have written a novel like this, at the peak of his maturity as a writer; he is one of the best we have -- Jose Maria Pozuelo Yvancos * ABC * An admirable novel, truly unique -- Alberto Moreiras * La marea * An excellent novel . . . fascinating both in its exploration of the past and in the playful creativity of its own narrative. -- Angel Basanta * El Cultural * It's a subversive and disenchanted view of war in general and the Spanish conflict in particular, in a fine translation by Anne McLean . . . It can be moving, unexpectedly funny, racy, demotic or deadpan. -- Lee Langley * Spectator * One of the strengths of Lord of All the Dead is the breadth of its subject matter. . . In this elegant and penetrating narrative Cercas shows us how important it is that Mena's life is not forgotten -- Nick Major * Glasgow Herald * Cercas' candid wranglings with how to tell this tale, his own deep discomfort and the grave maturity with which he acknowledges he can't feel morally superior to Mena make him a wonderfully warm and wise guide through this sad, small chapter of the Spanish Civil War. -- Siobhan Murphy * The Times * A remarkable act of personal history: brave, revelatory and unflinchingly honest -- William Boyd There is no-one writing in English like this: engaged humanity achieving a hard-won wisdom -- David Mills * The Times *
