Reseñas en medios

"I remember reading the first chapter of The Disinherited in manuscript and sitting transfixed. The story was so nakedly human it hurt--. It sang like a cello." -Dennis Lee

"A finely told story of the decay of a generations-long way of life and of the fierce family infighting over who is to inherit or escape--. Cohen writes with a superb sense of the nuances of love and the hollowness of the refusal to love." -Margaret Atwood

"Matt Cohen's novel moves deliberately, savouring the sights, sounds, smells of the countryside, the land and its people. His book is given over to a portrayal of husbands and wives, their distance and their closeness, their protection of each other, the kindness and hurts that accompany their essential separateness. The Disinherited is a beautiful book about people discovering each other too little and too late." -Peter C. Newman
