Editorial Reviews
“A twisting, thriller-ish tale…A sharp ripost to those who say fiction can’t cope with the cyber age…Intriguing.” —Times (London)
“A tale of betrayal, paranoia and conspiracy…Amnesia is at
once a bold account of Australia’s uncomfortable and slippery
relationship with the United States and an ambitious meditation on the
writer’s uncomfortable and slippery relationship with facts and their
audience…A terrific book.” —Independent (UK)
“Amnesia is exhilaratingly suffused with Carey’s wild prodigality
of invention…Amnesia glitters with nervy verbal inventiveness and
pungent characterization. Carey conjures the longings and anxieties of
his wayward teenaged idealists with the same pathos and precision with
which he depicts the pains and disillusions of middle age.” —Evening Standard (London)
“[This] lively 13th novel from the Australian magus Peter Carey will
leave the mind reeling. It is tremendous fun, a satiric burlesque as
fast as a speeding car…seething with
benign rage and as black as reality…The narrative energy
of Amnesia is impressive…[It] contains some of
the sharpest characterization Carey has written…blunt and funny, brave and outspoken.” —Irish Times
