'One of the most striking books of the year' --Mark Lawson, FrontRow
'Sewell is surely the funniest art critic of our time' --Spectator
'Outsider is a delicious read ... tantalising ... I want more - much more - and he is one of those writers for whom there is no more effective spur than the thought of a reader's merrily swinging jaw' --Rachel Cooke, Guardian
'A gripping portrait' --Independent
'Startling ... With its keenly observed details, wintry humour about human vanity, pungency about snobs and toadies, and tense, spare prose that never relaxes, Outsider is an excellent read. Sewell is a discomfitingly intelligent writer' --Times Literary Supplement
'Brace yourself for the raciest sell-out autobiography of the year ... I was riveted, fascinated and could not put the book down. It effectively banished all my midwinter blues' --The Lady

'A gripping portrait' --Independent
Outsider is the life of a child, boy, adolescent, student and young man in London between the Great Depression of the 30s and the sudden prosperity and social changes of the 60s, affected by the moral attitudes of the day, by the Blitz, post-war austerity and the new freedoms of the later 50s that were resisted with such obstinacy by the old regime. It is about education in the almost forgotten sense of the pursuit of learning for its own sake. It is about the imposed experiences of school and National Service and the chosen experience of being a student at the Courtauld Institute under Johannes Wilde and Anthony Blunt. It is about sex, pre-pubertal, in adolescence and in early adulthood, and the price to be paid for it. It is about art and the art market in the turbulent years of its change from the pursuit of well-connected gentleman to the professional occupation of experts.
