She storms through the back door, refusing to be weighed down with
rationalist and aesthetic baggage . . . [This] is a world on the
brink of destruction but it's going down with a barnyard laugh and
an explosive extravagance of imagination
*Blitz*
It throbs its way into the imagination like the unguided missile it

*Observer on BEAUTIFUL MUTANTS*
Distilled images of vital and unsettling power. Levy is one of the
few contemporary British writers comfortable on a world stage
*New Statesman*
She writes like a hyperkinetic angel
*The Times*
