"Once you pick it up, you can't stop reading it. . . . There's nothing like it in our experience and yet you like it at once."
Walter James Miller, Reader's Almanac, WNYC
"I have read this novel with pleasure and admiration. It is beautifully contrived, ingenious, economical, thoroughly convincing. It is also witty and civilised, and . . . must earn a kind of astonished applause."
Anthony Burgess
"Izzy Abrahami is a natural storyteller. The Game is delicious satire: droll, rather sneaky, always intelligent. It is a fine first novel. It is also what it beholds, a game, and as such is great fun."
Israel Horovitz
