  Chicago Tribune: "There is a touch of the early Aldous Huxley...in Cartwright's blend of horror, farce, cerebral concerns and storytelling suspense. And in juggling such an eclectic array of subjects--Masai culture, the Holocaust, the enigma of personality, the role of truth in narrative--he also resembles fellow British-African writer William Boyd."
