America. But both are true. Netherland, a state-of-the-nation exploration of contemporary America, is ambitious, intelligent and deeply perceptive...whether a huge six or a home run -whatever the metaphor of your choice Netherland - comes right out of the middle of the bat' Ed Smith, The Times
Praise for The Dog:
'On page after page, O'Neill can still dazzle as a compellingly intelligent writer. Everywhere you look, there's a shimmering portrait of modernity waiting to be glimpsed ... [An] ambitious, lucidly thought-through novel' Guardian
'Our only truly international writer ... Breathtaking ... O'Neill's writing reflects the individual's concerns in our desolate modern world in prose that is illuminating, amusing, sometimes beautiful, but never showy' Irish Independent
'The best comic novel I've read for ages' The Scotsman
'Enraged, brutal, witty and at times brilliant' Sunday Times
