Reviews

'McInerney is one of the most gifted writers of his generation ... whatever he does makes fascinating reading' Observer 'Ransom is cleverly written, intelligent, lively, concise and humorous. And it gives the reader that final buzz - it's serious' Guardian 'Witty, acerbic and buoyed by observational gifts, McInerney's writing is never less than deft' Financial Times 'McInerney has a sure hand with narrative, a sharp but forgiving eye for human frailty and a considerable gift for deadpan comedy that kids the things he loves ... a superb and humane social critic' Newsweek
