Review
"one of the few writers in France revered by hip twenty-somethings and greying men of letters alike" Lanie Goodman, Guardian; "Echenoz offers more delight in each paragraph than a shelf full of blockbusters" (Allan Massie, Scotsman); "In I'm Off, Echenoz continues to throw custard pies at literary norms, in particluar the machinery of your average novel. But the custard itself is of a very high qulaity... An extraordinary book... a fresh and amazing way of looking at the world" Giles Foden, Guardian; "What makes Echenoz so much fun is his ability to create plausible characters who do slightly implausible things in familiar settings... ironic, witty, detached, knowing and not unsympathetic" Jason Burke, Observer
