Review:
She storms through the back door, refusing to be weighed down with rationalist and aesthetic baggage . . . [This] is a world on the brink of destruction but it's going down with a barnyard laugh and an explosive extravagance of imagination * Blitz * It throbs its way into the imagination like the unguided missile it decries * Observer on BEAUTIFUL MUTANTS * Distilled images of vital and unsettling power. Levy is one of the few contemporary British writers comfortable on a world stage * New Statesman * She writes like a hyperkinetic angel * The Times *
