A fantastic kaleidoscope of a book, demonstrating the wide range of Noon's vision and talents.
THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
Club culture plus imagination, cult fiction minus the shite dialogue and childhood with the magic put back in
SFX
All of these stories are like nothing you’ll read by anyone else. A truly remarkable whole
CITY LIFE
Manchester’s Mr. Weird cuts and splices, dubs and daubs, edits and re-credits in the special effects department of the English Language… In some critics’ eyes he was made for the short story and this anthology adds to rather than merely retreads his previous, sporadic excursions into the form.
CITY LIFE
Showcases the best aspects of [Noon’s] talents. Noon blends Orwellian satire with pure surrealism to create darkly humorous parables in which technology has developed at an exponential rate and fused with human desires. Updating William Burroughs’s cut-up technique with the sensibilities of contemporary music producers and remixers, Noon takes his own stories and reworks them into inventive variations on a theme. A fantastic kaleidoscope of a book, demonstrating the wide range of Noon’s vision and talents. An excellent introduction into the surreal, confusing world of Jeff Noon.
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, CULTURE
Thoughtful, detailed and dense, Noon’s stories slip between the lucid and the deranged, bouncing the reader off the walls
BIG ISSUE
A coruscating bomb burst of 50 short stories
INDIAN EXPRESS
Noon, the Salvador Dali of avant-pulp, has moved further on than sci-fi, into a world of breakdown zones, the mediasphere, and the margins of dance culture
