Rezension zu „Joseph Anton, English edition “
"Joseph Anton is a splendid book, the finest new memoir to cross my desk in many a year" -- Jonathan Yardley Washington Post "Funny, painfully moving and absolutely necessary to read" -- Nicholas Shakespeare Daily Telegraph "Joseph Anton is a book that makes you laugh. It makes you sympathise. It may even scare you. It should also make you - if you believe that freedom is essential - very, very angry." -- David Aaronovitch Times "Frank and.more gripping than any spy story.the prose makes for powerful reading... He is a great writer who has been brave." -- Margaret Drabble Observer "An intimate tale of fathers and sons, of the beginnings and ends of marriages, of friendships and betrayals. At the same time, Joseph Anton is a large-scale spectacle of political and cultural conflicts." New York Times Book Review
