Rezensionen / Stimmen
One of the best books of the year... ambitious, intelligent and gripping... an expertly slick thriller... Kushner pulls off a remarkable feat -- Philip Womack * Spectator * Rachel Kushner may have written the novel of the year... A remarkably original book -- Rachel Connolly * The Telegraph * Kushner is one of America's greatest living authors * Daily Telegraph * A novel of ideas about nothing less than civilisation itself, delivered in the guise of a thriller - the result is profound and wickedly entertaining * Guardian * At last I get to say how deeply, madly, irrecoverably I loved Creation Lake...it was all stylish and cool, and then somehow the book struck a blow to my heart, which surprised me a lot, because I did not suspect what Rachel Kushner was really up to all along. -- Louise Erdrich * Kirkus * Hugely enjoyable... Creation Lake is a smart, funny novel that dares to contemplate the void of uncertainty where we all stand * Sunday Times, *Book of the Week* * A philosophical novel of ideas wrapped up in a spy caper... Irresistible * Guardian * A dazzling, genre-defying novel, satirical yet profound * Spectator *
