Tammet’s books are bursting with feeling and possibility.
Helen BrownSunday Telegraph​
Over two decades Daniel Tammet has narrated the neurodivergent experience … turning a novelistic eye to autistic lives as compelling as any in fiction.
Amy Tan​Author of The Joy Luck Club​
Like a novelist, he enters his characters’ heads; he reconstructs dialogue and shifts time and place… he celebrates the gifts and talents of autistic people, while exploring the richness of their dreams and desires.
Edward Posnett The Guardian​
Tammet’s exquisite portraits remind us that the variety of brains is every bit as essential as any other form of diversity that sustains the planet.
Andrew Solomon​Author of Far from the Tree
