âThis #book should be consumed in tiny pieces, thoughtfully, savoring each delicious morsel in small bites, allowing the sumptuous flavors to come alive.
âTrue ##poets, like mystics, are messenger pigeons,â says Labadidi. He is at heart a poet who will appeal to anyone interested in short and memorable sayings to live by.
Quarantine Notes is a book of #hope for the universal spirit.â

ââŚthe novelâs fizzing exuberance derives from the fun of watching Grayâs keen authorial intelligence finding layer upon layer of unexpected possibility in his one ingenious narrative conceit.â
âJonathan Coe reviews Alasdair Grayâs POOR THINGS in the London Review of Books, 8 October 1992
