"Morselli’s novels...are serious social studies.... The uncanny, matter-of-fact depictions...give an eerie feeling of something utterly impossible becoming all-too-plausible.... Why works of such calibre went unpublished remains a mystery...his works simply remain there to be appreciated." —Nicola Rossi, complete review Quarterly "[Morselli’s] best-laid schemes of mice and monarchs are presided over by a cool and witty intellect." —Christopher Wordsworth, The Guardian "Morselli possessed the pure visionary’s exactness and constructive ability; each time he chose a subject, he punctiliously documented himself thereabout...an isolated experimenter.... He could prophetically interpret history as in Il Comunista or reverse it, with a good deal of fantastic inventiveness." —Alfredo Giuliani, Literary Review "Morselli [was] a master of irony and a deft juggler of tenses." —Annapaola Cancogni, The New York Times
