Praise for Three----'The amount of wit and beauty Three finds in its own uncertainty makes it one of the most compelling novels of its time.' Juliet Jacques, Music & Literature----'Exquisitely written from the first page to the last.' The Scotsman----'An intriguing and successful novel, and remarkably contemporary in its stylistic sophistication.' Brian Evenson----Praise for the Author----'I suspect that Ann Quin will eventually be viewed, alongside BS Johnson and Alexander Trocchi, as one of the few mid-century British novelists who actually, in the long term, matter.' Tom McCarthy----'Quin's militant refusal to compromise flavours her writing: you either take her on her own terms, or not at all. Richer and stranger than the satisfactions of mainstream fiction.' Jonathan Coe----'Quin understood she was on to something new.' Deborah Levy----'One of our greatest ever novelists. Ann Quin's was a new British working-class voice that had not been heard before: it was artistic, modern, and - dare I say it - ultimately European.' Lee Rourke----'Ann Quin is a master painter of interiors, of voices that mosaic as they catch the light at strange, stirring angles.' Chloe Aridjis----'One of Britain's most adventurous post-war writers. Psychologically dark and sexually daring.' Juliet Jacques----'Quin works over a small area with the finest of tools. Every page, every word gives evidence of her care and workmanship.' New York Times----'Quin's prose never falters; it's stunning.' The Paris Review----'Despite ongoing rumours of a BS Johnson revival, I feel our attention could be more usefully directed towards Ann Quin.' Stewart Home, in 69 Things to do with a Dead Princess----'The most naturally and delicately gifted novelist of her generation.' The Scotsman----'Rare enough is a book that begins by stating its intention-rarer still one that proceeds to do seemingly everything it can to avoid following the path its intention has laid.' Danielle Dutton----'Quin was a writer ahead of her time.' Publishers Weekly ----'Vividly intense and almost palpably immediate.' Irish Times----'Quin uses carefully crafted imagery to stimulate the reader's subconscious.' Booklist----'Quin tosses out hefty dashes of mordant humour and caustic wit.' Library Journal
