“Terrific . . . John le Carré meets Evelyn Waugh . . . . Mann displays an extraordinary comedic gift for outlandish embellishment, and makes hay out of the incompetence and hubris on all sides of the impending war.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Far removed from the staid worlds of most historical fiction, this is a wonderfully comic, gripping, and intriguing novel—like All the Light We Cannot See, but with a wry, macabre humor—following three hugely different, yet brilliantly developed characters.” — Booklist
“Writing with intelligence, style, and wit, Peter Mann has created two unforgettable characters and braided them together in a thrilling World War II story unlike any other.” — David Ebershoff, New York Times bestselling author of The 19th Wife and The Danish Girl, on The Torqued Man
“I loved The Torqued Man, its riotous irreverence, its coiled suspense. It’s a brilliant, surprising novel, Don Quixote by way of le Carré.” — Jess Walter, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins and The Cold Millions, on The Torqued Man
“‘Vexing’ doesn’t begin to describe the intricate maneuverings of the two narrators in Peter Mann’s quick-witted World War II caper. But ‘compelling’ certainly does.” — New York Times Book Review on The Torqued Man
"As the chapters alternate between the manuscripts, two irreconcilable portraits of Pike emerge, while de Groot's love for the Irishman gradually emboldens him." — The New Yorker on The Torqued Man
