THE WEIGHT OF NUMBERS - CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
Dazzling, admirable narrative verve... It is unlikely there will be
a finer written fiction this year
*Guardian*
An ambitious, exciting novel.. unforgettable'
*The Times*
A dynamic, innovative, and compelling book that brings into focus
some of the most interesting trends in contemporary fiction
*Daily Telegraph*
Simon Ings' ambitiously genre-defying novel is a virtuoso display
of imaginative plotting
*Financial Times*
Ings weaves an ingenious, shimmering web of contiguity and
chance... a feat of meticulous plotting.
*New Statesman*
One of the most exciting - and relevant - books of the last year.
Booker material, for sure.
*Arena*
A deceptively readable, dizzyingly constructed novel... Ing's mad,
mad world is held together to the very last page by humour, vivid
depictions and a deeply compelling emotional core
*Publishers Weekly STARRED review*
