'A bizarre, engrossing, affectionate book that is a triumph on every level.' The Times
'Profoundly moving.' Daily Mail
'If Masters investigations feel like a Paul Auster detective story, there are also traces of Alan Bennet bad Barbary Pym seeping through the Cambridge hedges ... It's not life affirming - Masters isn't slick or pompous enough for that - but life-probing, pushing at the boundaries of empathy and understanding.' The Sunday Times
'Masters is a beautiful writer: funny, inquisitive and attentive.' Observer
'Intriguingly original ... A ripping yarn from start to finish and as impressively chaotic and hugely enjoyable a dip into a skip as one could ever hope for.' Express
'Playful, unsettling and altogether compelling ... pin-sharp and generously open to eccentricity ... He has produced an ingenious new twist on the concept of a ghostwritten biography, in which the ghost turns out to be the kind of person who usually disappears between the cracks of society without leaving a trace behind. In A Life Discarded she is brilliantly fleshed out and brought back to life.' The Spectator
'Masters has written a book that engenders in the reader the inexhaustible sympathy for the sorrow, and the solace, of the unconventional life.' Telegraph
'Masters wonderfully exposes all the questions about identity, in writing or in the flesh, that this enormous, rambling, sad diary raises ... Masters tells his tale with such verve ' Mary Beard, Guardian
'Masters' interest is firmly in obscure and unseen lives. That's not all that sets his books apart: they have a postmodern playfulness, the writing process described in the narrative and their subjects reading and commenting (not always favourably) on the work-in-progress, while doodles, photos and knowing, Tristram Shandy-style jokes dot the text ... A fascinating and surprisingly funny book' FT
