“White Man Falling is that rare and wondrous thing - a perfectly realized serious comic novel. That it is also a first novel makes it all the more extraordinary.” - Sarah Dunant
“It is the precision and originality of Mike Stocks's prose that makes this tragicomedy of Indian manners hard to put down and a joy to pick up.” - Mark Amory, The Spectator
“A warm-hearted comedy . . . Stocks’s poetic background . . . manifests itself in beautiful turns of phrase . . . and in the interweaving of Indian English throughout the text. There is a vogue in contemporary fiction for leaping between characters and timeframes like a flea seeking a tasty host. White Man Falling is a reminder that a single location and perspective, and linear chronology, can be deeply satisfying.” - The Times
“The writing is witty and engaging . . . an entertaining read, with all the ingredients of a comedy of errors - confusion, deluded matchmaking, mystical absurdity. There are underlying metaphors, but the book is essentially a satire of the search for meaning in the meaningless.” - The New Statesman
“A witty and occasionally lyrical novel.” - The Melbourne Age
“A rare gem of a comic first novel . . . Mike Stocks’s White Man Falling‚ set in fast-changing contemporary India‚ delivers an acute‚ affectionately observed satire on modern family life‚ police corruption and the power of religion.” - The Independent
