ReviewPraise for Peter Carey Two-time Winner of the Booker Prize Finalist for the International Man Booker Prize Winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize Five-time Winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award "Carey is a master craftsman, a comedian of the first order, an artist with an uncanny gift for the invention of situations that are bizarre yet believable. And as a double Booker Prize winner he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone--he has a licence to enjoy himself, and he does." --"Irish Independent" " " "Peter Carey is a wily seducer, a mental acrobat who can bound across continents and centuries and make us believe in whatever world he has discovered and imagined." --Paul Auster "Carey is a writer I prize not only for his remarkable Dickensian plots but also for the brilliance of his style.... He is the most exuberant stylist at work in English today." --Edmund White, "Daily Telegraph"About the AuthorTwice winner of the Booker Prize, Peter Carey's most recent novel Parrot and Olivier in America was described by the New Yorker as 'a comic masterpiece' and by the Sunday Times as 'an exhilarating tour-de-force'.
