Press review for Music, in a Foreign Language
"This re-issue of Crumey's Saltire First Book winning novel introduces many of the themes that have come to typify his work: a dazzling postmodernist sensibility, with all the attendant love of games, paradoxes and sly jokes, aligned with a cuttingly humane sense of the ineffability of some emotions: love, sorrow, betrayal. Set in a parallel, post-Communist Britain, the story of physicist Charles and historian Robert, and their author, signals that nothing can be taken on trust by beginning with Chapter 0. From then on in, it's a play of ideas with frighteningly high stakes."
