“All this travelling of Unger’s, and the easy, natural way in which Wieringa describes all these faraway places, lend the novel an international air. A wonderful odyssey.” **** - De Volkskrant“Poetic prose which is, in this writer’s oeuvre, as yet unequalled. Chillingly beautiful.” – De Standaard
“Wieringa plays a dazzling game of appearance and essence. The narrative pleasure fairly flies off the page. A fascinating novel.” – Trouw
“Wieringa’s language, his style, is what he uses to fully live up to the major ambitions of this novel. Effortlessly, he plays in various, widely divergent registers: lyricism, irony, no-bones realism.”… “A vital novel full of pinpoint psychological insights and lovely phrases.”… “Wieringa shifts effortlessly between myth and reality, and lines up one felicitous idea after another. Tommy Wieringa is, mark my words, the greatest living novelist of Dutch letters.” – Vrij Nederland
“Caesarion is a more-than-worthy successor to Joe Speedboat”- De Morgen
“Tommy Wieringa, who won a broad readership with his novel Joe Speedboat in 2005, has written what may be the best book of 2009. His novel Caesarion is perfectly balanced.” – ***** Algemeen Dagblad
“It’s absolutely astounding, but Caesarion is even better than Joe Speedboat. More intriguing. Grander. More compelling. More impressive. More ambitious, and rightly so: each ambition is made good on. Each metaphor is original. Every sentence is sculptured. Each observation is razor-sharp. Each word is selected from a seemingly endless vocabulary. Stylistic haute cuisine. Caesarion is un-putdownable.” Kluun
“Wieringa is a gifted storyteller.”- Esta
“A masterpiece.”- Boek Magazine
