The Polyglots (Neversink)
“The most influential English novel of the twentieth century.”—William Boyd"To my generation Gerhardie was the most important new novelist to appear in our young life."-- Graham Greene"I have talent, but he has genius."-- Evelyn Waugh"One of the funniest writers of the century." -- Philip Toynbee"A comic writer of genius...but his art is profoundly serious: underneath the shamelessness and farce, his themes are the great ones, love greif and death, of intimations of joy and our imprisonment in the world of flesh and time."-- The Sunday Times
