Washington Post review of Quartet for the End of Time, December 19, 2014 January 8, 2015 Johanna Skibsrud It is "exhilarating to join a novelist working at these bracing heights, where no abstraction — not God, not time, not death, not art, not the meaning of life — is out of bounds, yet where all philosophical searching is rooted in human experience, whether sickening or sublime, and rendered with clarity and sympathy."
