'A superb thriller, a cross between Tom Stoppard's Travesties and The Thirty-Nine Steps, full of mysteries, twists and turns ... You can't put it down. This is an astonishing debut and Daniel Birnbaum is clearly a talent to look out for' The Jewish Chronicle
'If you're looking for a ridiculously brilliant story, you can stop looking ... He's got the world's best story - he's got Dr B' Svenska Dagbladet
'Dr B is an astonishing thriller-novel ... reminiscent of both Hjalmar Söderberg's Doctor Glass as well as the dreamy melancholy in The Rings of Saturn by W.G Sebald ... This moral ambiguity makes Dr. B. no less fascinating a character than Stefan Zweig's version of the same' Aftonbladet
'A moving evocation of a life beset by conflicts in a troubled time' Kirkus Reviews

'Who was Dr. B.? A spy? A member of the resistance? A journalist manipulated by competing political forces in the Casablanca of the North that was Stockholm during World War II? Dr. B brings to life the feverish atmosphere of the capital ... where Immanuel Birnbaum becomes entangled in a whirlwind of confusing intrigue' Le Monde
'A spy novel as complex as it is captivating ... Dr. B. evokes so vividly the apocalyptic chaos of 1939-40 Stockholm, where different political forces jockey for power ... and Immanuel Birnbaum, Dr. B, finds himself caught in the confusion' Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
