How to Sell

Dirty, greatly original, and very hard to stop reading -- Jonathan Franzen
How To Sell is a bleak, funny, unforgiving novel about how we buy and sell everything - merchandise, drugs, sex, trust, power, peace of mind, religion, friendship, and each other. It's written extremely finely, with wit and enviable self-control. A genuinely fresh, disconcerting voice -- Zadie Smith
A relentless, clever, sordid novel about what lies at the heart of most transactions - sex and money -- Francesca Segal * Observer *
Smart, devious and sad -- Catherine Taylor * Guardian *
This book smells like a hit * Vogue *
Need a reason to reconsider buying a dubious Faberge egg this week? Try this tale of sex, drugs and dirty diamonds by a former jeweller (now philosophy professor), in which a young man is sucked into the depraved dark side of the high-end gems trade. -- Lauren Laverne * Grazia *
With this fast, dark novel, Clancy Martin shows there's no reason why a former jeweler who translates Nietzsche can't write like an angel on meth * Bloomberg *
A funny yet sad coming-of-age story -- Jonathan Eyers * Metro *
A funny, quirky takedown of the American dream. A bastard child of John Updike and Mordechai Richler, How To Sell grabs you by the tuchus and doesn't let go -- Gary Shteyngart
Succeeds in the most important way a novel can: it makes a previously unimagined world as real as your own. A wonderful debut -- John Niven, author of KILL YOUR FRIENDS
