    Deep, brooding and magical, The Starless Room is simply one of the finest artistic statements of 2016.

    Despite a couple of bland sections--St Martha’s in particular--The Starless Room is worthy of many repeat, and extended, visits.

    He surprises with an unexpectedly stark romanticism inspired at least partly by his love for Isaac Hayes and Ray Charles. [Jan 2017, p.108]
