“Fast on the heels of his brilliant 'The Cardiff Giant', Larry Lockridge has done it again, and differently. 'The Great Cyprus Think Tank' offers a fizzing brew of ideas, erotic shenanigans, cultural commentary, and stylistic brio. With the lightest of touches and a rapier wit, Lockridge conjures a sociable intellectual frolic that effortlessly ingathers everything form climate change to animal rights to Shakespeare to Rimbaud's lost notebook to the upheavals of Cypriot history. Mindful of all kinds of disaster, this is a novel of deep comedy, energy, and chastened joy. I strongly advise you to ride out any tsunami on the backs of Lockridge's sea turtles.”
