Awards/获奖情况：Exquisite… His prose is limpid, blackly funny and shiny with particularity… He writes with the craft of Julian Barnes or, even, Truman Capote.’ - Andrew Billen, The Times
‘A descriptive tour de force… Haddon treats [his] central message with virtuoso subtlety, counterpointing his characters’ fates with their dreams and ominous intimations… The real redemption in these superbly gripping stories comes from their canny human detail, and the vivid, unsettling clarity they bring to our lives.’ - Phil Baker, Sunday Times
‘Outstanding.’- Imogen Lycett Green, Daily Mail
‘Every line makes you believe what he writes, his eye misses nothing… The stories are willed experiments, imaginations darkest what-ifs… their execution is outstanding.’ - Kate Kellaway, Observer
‘This collection could easily be the book that he is eventually remembered for.’ - Alex O’Connell, The Times
‘A masterful collection… Haddon is a consummate storyteller and The Pier Falls reveals a writer at the peak of his imagination. Some of these stories have already been shortlisted for awards and one suspects the whole collection will justifiably follow suit.’ -
Hannah Beckerman, Sunday Express
‘A showcase for Haddon’s talent.’ - Anthony Cummins, Daily Telegraph
‘A sustained set of powerfully told stories... It’s as if Ian McEwan had never turned nice.’ - David Sexton, Evening Standard
