Scintillatingly alive... It ripples with stories, anecdotes, set-piece monologues, crafty egotistical tall tales, and hapless adventures
Kushner is rapidly emerging as a thrilling and prodigious novelist
One of the most thrilling and high-octane literary experiences I have had in ages
It's so good, it's a little frightening… it makes any fretting over the state of the novel look plain silly
An adrenalin-fuelled coming-of-age novel
Unfolds on a bigger, brighter screen than nearly any recent American novel I can remember
An ambitious and serious American novel. The sentences are sharp and gorgeously made. The scope is wide. The political and the personal are locked in a deep and fascinating embrace
Dazzling... The Flamethrowers is a virtuoso performance; a ride of ache and pleasure, handled with pinpoint command
This glittering novel is both carefully structured and exhilarating
Rachel Kushner’s fearless, blazing prose ignites the 70s New York art scene and Italian underground
A bright burning flame of a novel
The Flamethrowers is a strange, fascinating beast of a novel, brimming with ideas, and sustained by the muscular propulsion of Kushner’s prose… Kushner emerges as a wildly gifted artist filling a sketchbook with thrilling, eye-catching scenes
There is an exhilarating freedom to Kushner’s writing… Taut, vividly intelligent prose
Sparky and inventive...a riot of a novel
Ms Kushner’s kaleidoscopic prose carries the novel’s shifts in location and person, and the fast-paced rhythm harnesses the thrill of adventure
Swells with a daunting bravado
