THE BROTHERS' LOT in the TLS


THE BROTHERS' LOT, by Kevin Holohan,
reviewed in the Times Literary Supplement!

"A witty, brilliant, devastating expression of outrage. . . this novel
is so subtly imagined, so elegantly structured, written in such
hilarious prose but with such horrifying details, that what
it offers is an overpowering, visionary judgement of a society."
