Praise
“Szerb belongs with the master novelists of the 20th century.” – Paul Bailey, Daily Telegraph
“Journey by Moonlight is a burning book, a major book.” – George Szirtes, Times Literary Supplement
“[T]here is more to it than fable. It actually has much in common with Journey by Moonlight the flight from identity, the alleys of Venice, the choices that must be made between duty and pleasure, or between two women. And it has its comedy, too.” - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian
“A writer of immense subtlety and generosity, with an uncommonly light touch which masks its own artistry. His novels transform farce into poetry, comic melancholy into a kind of self-effacing grace… Antal Szerb is one of the great European writers.” – Ali Smith
