By the end of an intense four years at UCLA, I had co-authored a new math proof, which the media, in fact, loved.

Jonathan Coe's genial, likeable novel can only be described as a kind of lit-prog-rock concept album...

As always with Jonathan Coe, the sheer intelligent good nature that suffuses his work makes it a pleasure to read. — Peter Bradshaw
Being exposed to theory, stimulated by a basic love of concepts and mathematics, was a marvelous experience. — Rudolph A. Marcus
