Reviews[edit]
A Green Equinox received widespread literary acclaim and was a finalist for the 1973 Booker Prize.[1] John Self, writing for the Guardian, said, ”But most of all this is that rare bird, a novel entirely sui generis, with no clear antecedents and no imitators. It is old-fashioned in the best way: intrepid, eccentric, and not giving a damn.”[2]
A Green Equinox was reissued in 2023 by McNally Editions and Virago Modern Classics to renewed critical attention.
