![]() ![]() "Carey has produced a humane, gloriously Australian book of grand passion, bad breath and high mischief. ![]() "Carey’s novel is entertaining, intriguing even, but lacking the urgency its plot lays claim to, its characters are mostly unable to elicit any empathy." - Angel Gurria-Quintana, Financial Times."Carey is clearly having a blast with his material - part art caper, part noir love story - but he never quite brings the colorful Theft into focus." - Jennifer Reese, Entertainment Weekly."Written with terrific verbal energy and a snide, lashing sense of humour, Theft is a marvellous caper, a wicked little love story and a fine mockery of an industry that probably deserves it." - The Economist.The two-time Booker winner is clearly enjoying himself - especially during Hugh's chapters, and when Butcher is holding forth on the creation of art and the business of art, which as far, as he is concerned, are mutually exclusive." - Yvonne Zipp, Christian Science Monitor "The strength of Theft lies in its narrative voice and in Carey's delight in his subject.Liebe: Eine Diebesgeschichte - Deutschlandī+ : lively and sharp, but wrestles with too many questions and too many demons General information | review summaries | our review | links | about the author Trying to meet all your book preview and review needs. ![]()
