Patrick Hamilton (All press)
- May 19 2008
New York Review of Books: "When Hamilton's work is at its best, his preoccupations—consciousness, power, obsession, sex, and social class—converge, and their combined weight gives the fiction a momentum that moves it above the sooty streets of Earl's Cour - Jun 20 2007
Boston Globe: " Hamilton's novels are filled with drinking, murder, madness, unrequited passion, loneliness, casual cruelty, the anomie of modern society, dismal, drenching weather, and humor --the words "black comedy" spring to mind." - Mar 7 2007
Los Angeles Times: "as a character study and social portrait of the seedier side of London life in the 1930s, the book is a marvel." - May 2 2006
Mystery File: "Patrick Hamilton's work as a playwright produced the landmark suspense films ROPE and GASLIGHT. Now his 1941 novel Hangover Square is back in print." - Mar 2 2006
Boston Phoenix: "Hamilton raises his hard-boiled, pulp-fiction world to the level of tragedy."
