Zoë Perry liked Grace Rymer's review of The Secret Dinner: "This book starts relatively normal - 4 friends sharing an apartment in Rio need a way to find money fast, and quickly develops into something twisted and heavy.

“The translator, we should know, is a writer too. As a matter of fact, he could be called the ideal writer because all he has to do is write; plot, theme, characters, and all other essentials have already been provided, so he can just sit down and write his ass off. (p. 8)”
