With intellectual elegance, Moretti invites us to use maps, not as all-encompassing solutions, but as generators of ideas.

- Umberto Eco,

Moretti ... is a seductive, stylish guide. One has the powerful sense of reading the results of concentrated thought: every page contains an aphoristic insight ... The reader is smuggled across borders that flash by in the dark ... The <i>Atlas of the European Novel</i> is a wonderful achievement: a visual pleasure as much as a textual one; a work in the vanguard of a new critical school that marries grand theory with a punctuating wit.

- Steven Poole, The Guardian

A genuine and useful and inspired work of aesthetic investigation ... it will have a massive importance, not only to critics, but more importantly, to writers.
