"It's all packed with Simpson's deadpan wit - she is one of the most sharply funny writers in England today" Times Literary Supplement "When it comes to contemporary maestros of the short-story form, Helen Simpson is up there with Alice Munro... If they had any sense the 10:10 carbon-reduction campaign would distribute this book for free, such is its power" -- Lucy Atkins The Sunday Times "The best short story writer now working in English" Financial Times "In-Flight Entertainment is quite delectable, confirming her as the queen of the comic short story" Sunday Telegraph "Helen Simpson can weave more thought and feeling into a thousand words than some achieve in as many pages" Intelligent Life
