Reviews

Epstein commands an impressively wide field of reference and his writing is always lively, richly textured and colourful - sometimes brilliantly so... Sublime Noise is a thought-provoking study, densely packed with intelligent connections and highly resonant. Times Literary Supplement ... he writes beautifully, has researched widely and deeply, and is clearly in command of his material. The most admirable thing about this exquisitely dilatory book is that each sentence has its own rhythm. James Joyce Quarterly
