Jack O’Connell is one of my novel-writing heroes. The originality of his plots and characters is remarkable, and his prose style and descriptions are vivid and highly engaging. I like to think that his novels have helped me shape my own. Here is what he said about War and Fleas:
“Bert Robbens’s War and Fleas is a comic tour de force, a slip-stream voyage through a magical real world. Imaginative and daring, the novel is a wild and fun ride. Highly recommended.”
