Tightly written, carefully designed to wrong-foot preconceptions,
and astute... An intensely gripping story
*Evening Standard*
Certainly his best book since What is the What, The Parade may well
be the sound of a major writer finding his mature voice
*Spectator*
A readable, atmospheric book
*The Times*
This is a tale for our time, an allegory about intervening in
foreign lands without knowledge, and so a nightmare vision of our
endless wars.
*Thomas E. Ricks*
In The Parade, the anxiety grows with every page and every mile to
reach an ending that turns everything upside down and sends us into
the heart of darkness. A minimalistic, merciless novel. A powerful
allegory and a painfully concrete contemporary story-Eggers is a
true virtuoso of that synthesis.
*Georgi Gospodinov*
Wide-ranging and thoughtful engagement with concepts of power and
inequality and whether Western notions of what constitutes
'progress' are always right
*Literary Review*
It partakes of a complex of anxieties about America's role as an
affluent superpower of dubious virtue
*Financial Times*
Egger's commitment to social and political issues continues
*Mail on Sunday*
