‘Crisply translated by Charlotte Mandell (as was Zone), Compass is Proustian in its set-up. [T]here are passages of pure delight with rare insight into the human condition.’
— Tobias Grey, Financial Times

‘[A] love letter to the cosmopolitan Middle East ... [a] strangely powerful work.’ 
— Steven Poole, Guardian

‘Enard is like the anti-Houellebecq, and he deserves far more attention.’ 
— Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal 

‘In Charlotte Mandell’s elegant translation, Mathias Enard’s humane and erudite novel reminds the anglophone world of what it owes to Islam.’  — Ruth Scurr, Spectator

‘A novelist like Enard feels particularly necessary right now, though to say this may actually be to undersell his work. He is not a polemicist but an artist, one whose novels will always have something to say to us.’  — Christopher Beha, Harper's Magazine

‘Compass is a book about boundaries and non-boundaries, smudged lines between countries, languages, cultures and times.'  — Thomas McMullan, minor literature[s]
