A different take from John Banville (I haven't read it so can't offer an opinion one way or the other):
'It affords a reviewer no pleasure to be harsh on this book, which Jo Catling frankly declares was "a labour of love". However, to present in the guise of a volume of mainstream essays the spade-work left over from a life of academic toil can only diminish the posthumous reputation of a writer who, in books such as The Rings of Saturn and the superb Austerlitz, showed himself to be one of the last masters from the great age of Mitteleuropean high literature that is now drawing to a close, in its own silent catastrophe.'
