Críticas:
'Death is compared with elegant simplicity to an iridescent tropical fish whose shockingly bold colours gradually fade to grey. There is a tragic rejection at the heart of the story. Lott is attempting to solve what he sees as a deep-rooted crime against humanity, excavating the blank spaces beneath the rawness of everyday life' --Independent
'A Thelma and Louise-like road novel, in which the wide open spaces of America are vividly etched...Under the Same Stars, a tender-hearted novel of sibling rivalries, is no less memorable than his family memoir The Scent of Dried Roses. Very occasionally the therapist s couch shows in the prose ('A single thought drifted into the slipstream of his understanding'); otherwise the writing is sharp as a tack and unfailingly fun to read' --Spectator
Lott allows emotional rawness and confusion to remain unfinessed, the loose ends to stay frayed...It may be an uncomfortable read, but its raggedness is perhaps its greatest strength --Alex Clark, Guardian

It is late summer 2008 and forty-year-old Salinger Nash, who has been plagued since adolescence by a mercurial depression, leaves the north-west London house he shares with girlfriend for his older brother Carson's home in New Orleans. It is Carson who has persuaded Salinger that they should visit their estranged father on his deathbed in Las Cruces, and use it as an opportunity to heal old wounds. However it is with a sense of foreboding that Salinger sets off with his brother on a road trip from New Orleans in Carson's prized brand new Lexus, as their relationship is far from amicable. Tender, funny, unflinching, this is a road trip story in the great American literary tradition and an exploration of sibling rivalry that harks back to Cain and Abel. It is a vivid glimpse of a country through the eyes of an outsider, a profound exploration of brotherhood and a gripping journey of the soul.
