Rezensionen

These characters, their money and their morality come together in an absolutely devastating thunderclap

Alam is scathingly funny ... Entitlement invites comparison to Edith Warton's House of Mirth and Sylvia Plath's Bell Jar ... Books of this calibre transcend personal experience. I barrelled through - propelled by its wit and unshakeable dread - and promptly read it again. Only then could I luxuriate in its tautness. Mundane conversations distil into dazzling singsong and the whole is expertly held together by its narrator's sly interjections. Its stylishness belies discipline, for not a word is wasted. Like New York, it will linger despite its apparently cavalier air Irish Times
