Anthony Burgess recommends
In a Cafe (1995)
Mary Lavin
"I envy the skill of Mary Lavin. . . . In her capacity to make much out of little, to compress an entire ethos into an apparently banal situation, she reminds us what literature is all about."
The Holy Innocents (1988)
Gilbert Adair
"In the tradition of Jean Cocteau's Les Enfants Terribles, considered a masterpiece. This is a far better book."
The Art of the Novel (1988)
Milan Kundera
"A 'practitioner's confession'... highly readable, provocative, and of inspirational force."
Mr. Fox (1987)
Barbara Comyns
"Let us make no bones about it: Barbara Comyns is one of our most original talents."
