PositiveThe Telegraph (UK)\"Deborah Levy’s writing is like Philip Glass’s music. Both create meaning through repetition; both provoke either reverence or profound ambivalence. So, while fans of Levy’s work...will think her latest novel, August Blue, mesmerizing, others may find its enigmatic and symbolic approach disorienting to the point of frustration ... I had the nagging impression that ideas embedded in images such as this have the same quality as Levy’s writing; you either \'get\' it or you don’t. For those that do – myself included – August Blue is packed with flavors...while the synesthetic quality of the writing will be another of its pleasures.\
