Media Reviews
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 *
