Matt Haig vermengt meesterlijk de alledaagse werkelijkheid met betoverende fantasie, en doordrenkt zijn verhalen met een eigenzinnige, heerlijk vreemde twist. Geprezen om zijn schrijven dat tegelijkertijd grappig, meeslepend en hartverscheurend is, duikt zijn werk vaak in complexe familiedynamieken en het innerlijke leven van zijn personages. Haigs onderscheidende stem en fantasierijke stijl creëren werelden die zowel humoristisch als diep menselijk zijn. Zijn boeiende verhalen resoneren culture over, vertaald in tal van talen en bekoren lezers die op zoek zijn naar originaliteit.
