'Addictive self-portrait ... Doyle is sharp and funny as a critic, and morbidly candid about his own life ... we find a writer living and thinking his way to the frontiers of human society, rather than, as in so much contemporary writing, at its cosy core' - Nicholas Harris, The Spectator

'Maddening and beguiling in equal measure ... a brilliant writer ... absolutely essential' - Steven Long, The Crack Magazine

'A readers’ book and a writer’s dream ... Doyle’s words are touching, filled with emotion, and brutally honest ... this bookworm knows his stuff and you should be consulting him regularly, or better yet just buy Autobibliography as your Christmas guidebook for your own 52 book challenge for 2022 ... Rob Doyle is the perfect bookshop companion; he will give you a completely concise review and share why he suggested the book in the first place, and it made me genuinely excited about the prospect' - Rebecca George, Nation.Cymru

'I adore Rob Doyle. One of the great wordsmiths of our age' - Dan Stevens

'Doyle’s prose is virtuosic and exuberant ... strangely compelling' - Michael Delgado, inews
