The glittering wit on the surface of these pieces belies their righteous anger and profound melancholy' TLS. 'By the end of this collection, you return, blinking, into the sharp light of the here and now, and mourn those few short days when you were floating in Liu, heady with the thrill of a life in which your senses were sparked up like phosphorescent antennae to the wonders of our existence on this "boat in space"' Big Issue.
