На задната корица:

Illywbacker is a dazzling comic narrative, from the lips of the 139-year-old Herbert Badgery, the 'illy-whacker' or confidence trickster of the title. Over­flowing with magic, jokes and inventions, peopled with aviators, car salesmen, Chinamen and impresar­ios, Peter Carey's novel is a contemporary classic.

'The funniest novel of the year.'

The Times

'A vast bubbling stew of a novel, featuring a trickster hero-narrator, by one of Australia's outstanding writers.'

Observer

Tllywhacker is a tour de force, both funny and mov­ing, the work of an original at full stretch.'

Financial Times

'A spectacular achievement, establishing without doubt Peter Carey as one of the most exciting prose writers in Australia today.'

Books and Bookmen

'A wonderfully generous novel ... It is the kind of novel one reads with a growing consciousness that one is going to need to read it again almost immediately.'
