Review
" 'I think it is now becoming clear that A Dance to the Music of Time is going to become the greatest modern novel since Ulysses' - Clive James. 'I would rather read Mr Powell than any English novelist now writing' - Kingsley Amls. 'Unquestionably the finest English comic novel of the period' - Sunday Times. 'Intensely enjoyable - his dry, Ironic descriptions are very funny indeed. A witty and shapely account of conventional English education' - Observer. 'I find Powell the sort of writer who exerts such a strong pull that turning anyone else's books, after his, calls for an effort of will - One of the most individual tones of voice in contemporary novel-writing and one of the most artful' - Norman Shrapnel, Guardian"
