Media Reviews
The Adulterants is thrust-the-book-at-the-person-next-to-you hilarious * New Statesman *
Joe Dunthorne is one of our best young writers * Metro *
Perfectly formed... a pin-sharp skewering of a certain type of modern urban thirtysomething male, trapped in a protracted adolescent state. It's one not to be missed * Bookseller *
A sharp satire of contemporary London and the modern urban male * Tatler *
Blisteringly funny and brimming with caustic charm - a joyous diagnosis of our modern ills that made me laugh out loud even when it was breaking my heart * Paul Murray *
Dark, beautifully wry, and side-splittingly excruciating, The Adulterants is a triumph of voice and vision * Tea Obreht *
A tale of modern manhood, full of malaise, melancholy and wryly funny observations * S Magazine *
A richly illuminating comedy of disappointment, uproarious and mournful, that places Joe Dunthorne triumphantly in the tradition of Evelyn Waugh and (that other Swansea resident) Kingsley Amis. A deft, brilliant, surprising joyride * The Art Desk *
Joe Dunthorne's new book is a pleasure - I was very fortunate to get to read his book Submarine early and reading this one was equally thrilling. I owe him a great deal ( but refuse to repay him) * Richard Ayoade *
Smartly written, The Adulterants riffs on London's housing crisis, competitively sensitive men and social media with wry insight * Book Riot *
A creation of some genius. Dunthorne is a naturally comic writer * Daily Telegraph on 'Wild Abandon' *
Publisher's Description: Thirty-something freelance tech journalist Ray hates his job, resents his more successful friends, is terrified of the London property ladder, and has just accidently cheated on his pregnant girlfriend. But no matter how bad life seems, he's about to learn that things can always get worse... From the comic genius behind Submarine comes a hilariously scathing new novel about modern life * Penguin *
Dunthorne captures the mores of Britain today better than novelists twice his age * New Statesman on'Submarine' *
Brilliant and laugh-out-loud enjoyable * Independent on 'Submarine' *
Insightful comic writing that manages to be both tender and biting * Independent on Sunday on 'Wild Abandon' *
A brilliant first novel by a young man of ferocious comic talent * The Times on 'Submarine' *
