Revue de presse :
"It's Jacobson's genius that he uses Felix's perversion as a torture garden in which a hundred interlinked images, theories, arguments, stories and literary allusions flourish and blossom... A startling achievement: shocking, argumentative, funny, rude, querulous, intellectually bracing" (Independent)
"A gloriously literary, highly wrought narrative as darkly transgressive, as savage in its brilliance, as anything Jacobson has written... Jacobson is a connoisseur of the harm lovers inflict on each other: he rolls their recriminations on his tongue, savours the bile, relishes the sticky sweetness of passion, and tastes the salty tears that can never quench the perpetual thirst for love" (The Times)
"The narrative is masterly. Entertaining as well as erudite, it prompts reflections upon art, obsession, masculinity, betrayal and the nature of the erotic... serves above all to confirm his creator's mighty individual talent. There surely cannot be a more vigorously intelligent novelist than Howard Jacobson writing in this country today" (Sunday Telegraph)
"Howard Jacobson injects a kind of molten energy into English that makes it move like another language altogether... Obsession, hidden desires and the salacious thrill of voyeurism all play their part in this brawny tale of love's flagellant" (Daily Mail)
"Intense, powerful, surprisingly funny, totally affecting and deeply touching" (Observer)

"Intense, powerful, surprisingly funny, totally affecting and deeply touching" (Observer)
Shocking, mordantly funny, and at the last, heartbreaking. Felix Quinn calls himself a happy man until his wife, Marisa, has an affair. Then an event occurs that changes everything. At a stroke he goes from dreading the thought of someone else touching her to thinking about nothing else, knowing no peace until she betrays him again and again. But how can it be called betrayal if it is what he wants? This recording is unabridged. Typically abridged audiobooks are not more than 60% of the author's work and as low as 30% with characters and plotlines removed.
