Press Reviews

  • SCOTSMAN
    A MODEL CHILDHOOD delves painfully into the German past... The honesty, the apalling hindsight-driven ironies, the cool searching narrative: this art of a major writer offers just a glimmer, just the faintest apalled glimmer, of comprehension as to how it could all have grown, how it could have happened... the horror which so deformed Europe's recent past.
  • THE TIMES
    A piercing account of the inner lives of artists at a time of great social change.
  • THE MAIL ON SUNDAY
    A vivid testimony.
