RaveThe Observer (UK)\"The Revolutionary Temper is a book that convincingly reframes the French Revolution – and Darnton’s synthesis of scholarly rigor with style, brevity and wit is a singular achievement.\
Stephen Moss
PositiveThe Observer (UK)Moss isn’t optimistic about our future, but he asks readers not to despair ... Delicate, stylish.
Michael Pedersen
RaveThe Observer (UK)... sees Pedersen illuminate these companions with a poet’s eye, a comedian’s timing – and a lover’s care ... For all his skill, Boy Friends is self-consciously unpolished – appropriately so maybe. Real love is tricky, unplottable, stained with the dirt and struggle of everyday life ... intimate and confessional. Grief, captured without cliche, leaps from the page. In a story that passes from the dead to the living, from art to life and back again, Pedersen and Hutchison’s connection endures.
