Media Reviews
A risky, cheeky and unforgettable tour de force... Millet writes beautifully, and almost every page has a quotable line... Oh Pure and Radiant Heart is a melancholy account of how men, and cultures, go wrong, and a love story about trust and persistence. It is shocking, hilarious and meaningful. More please Scotsman Subversive, shocking, pertinent... Combining the personal and the political... A sweeping tour de force Esquire Possesses the nervy irreverence of Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller... Genius Vanity Fair One of my favourite contemporary American writers, Millet never repeats a trick and has invented more than a few -- Jonathan Lethem A risky, cheeky and unforgettable tour de force... It is shocking, hilarious and meaningful. More please -- Stuart Kelly Scotland on Sunday
