“[Edward St. Aubyn] can make words do just about anything . . . St. Aubyn has a cut-glass prose style, a gift for unexpected metaphor, and a skewering eye. . . What makes [Lost for Words] interesting is . . . its verbal dexterity: its mimicry, its stylishness, and an almost hectic inventiveness. . . Far from being at a loss for words, most of the book teems with cleverness, with a sense that words can be made to do almost anything—and a suspicion that that may be tantamount to nothing. . . St. Aubyn himself is a conjurer, able to take that greasy deck of cards and make it perform tricks of a sort rarely seen anymore.” — The Atlantic
"St. Aubyn offers a hearty satire, full of laughs and groans." — Booklist
"Edward St. Aubyn is among the handful of the current giants of English fiction. He has always had an eye for the sort of satire that does not exclude compassion and understanding; now that eye is trained on the absurd world of awarding literary prizes. The results are hilarious!" — Edmund White
"A laugh-out-loud sendup of literary prizes . . . Both the author and the reader have great fun." — Kirkus
