In a full page review in the New York Times Book Review Terrence Rafferty had this to say about John Burnside’s latest:
“The emotion this brilliant and disturbing novel leaves you with is like the spooked feeling Leonard experiences: ‘It takes your breath away, but you don’t know if that comes from awe or terror.’ The Glister is that kind of story. It’s terrifying and it feels like a gift.”
