'Sinclair matches his brisk and original intelligence with an abundant yet sharply controlled prose that makes "The Lady with the Laptop" a hugely enjoyable and stimulating collection' - Nicholas Wroe, "Independent". 'His natural irony is a consistently benevolent force, undermining prejudice, cultural division and paranoia..."The Lady with the Laptop" confirms him as a great observer of both the Jewish diaspora and the instability of any cultural identity' - Ra Page, "Guardian". 'Sinclair is great fun, a canny court jester juggling big issues of life, death and cultural chaos, to the tune of a belly laugh' - Angela Neustatter, "Literary Review". 'As the title suggests, there is a Chekovian theme running through the stories. They are laced with a wonderful black irony, but they are also very poignant' - Shena Mackay, "Scotland on Sunday", Books of the Year. 'This outstanding collection should consolidate Clive Sinclair's reputation as one of the most inventive writers working in the form today' - Elizabeth Lowry, "Times Literary Supplement".
