-Catherine O’Flynn, Costa prize winning author of ‘What Was Lost’
"Welcome to a new kind of 21st-century storytelling. This remarkable collection of writing is hard to categorise in any orthodox sense, but it is a brilliant and often profound form of literature that says more about the modern human condition than a hundred more conventional novels might. The genius of Tales from the Mall is that Morrison plays everything with a straight bat. There are pieces of writing here that will make you cry, others that will give you a warm glow about humanity, and still others that will make you despair at the state of the world."-Scotland On Sunday
"Morrison has pulled together a wealth of information and anecdotes to create a vibrantly funny and genuinely scary portrait of our times."
