"[The Late Hector Kipling] is a rollicking, no-corpsesbarred black comedy...the art-world milieu is deftly handled, and there's a splendidly mean and morbid wit at play.... Thewlis has talent." -- Kirkus Reviews
"[A] laugh-out-loud, darkly intelligent debut...a thought-provoking skewering of modern art by a knowledgeable writer and an inescapably doomed but appealing hero." -- Publishers Weekly
"David Thewlis has written an extraordinarily good novel that is not only brilliant in its own right but which stands proudly beside his work as an actor, no mean boast. He is the epitome of the true Renaissance man. A hero of mine." -- Billy Connolly
