“Digressive and anecdotal” – The Minister and The Murderer by Stuart Kelly

"Kelly’s meandering path through cultural history is, then, potentially divisive as far as his readership goes: it’s more or less frustrating depending on what kind of book you’re hoping to encounter. Halfway through, he gives Adam Curtis a shout-out, which seems ironic, because Curtis is a master at winching in the apparently disconnected strands of his own far-reaching narratives; Kelly, by contrast, seems to gesture towards a grand narrative that never quite emerges..." - Valerie O'Riordan reviews The Minister and the Murderer by Stuart Kelly
