    <body><![CDATA[A few of my thoughts on the author, having read only this, his debut effort:<br/><br/>Matt Ruff is smart.  Not Nabokov smart.  Not Pynchon smart.  Not Dave Foster Wallace neurotic, tortuously smart.  In fact, maybe he's not quite so smart after all.<br/><br/>Matt Ruff has read a few books.  <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5907.The_Hobbit_Or_There_and_Back_Again" title="The Hobbit  Or There and Back Again by J.R.R.

Matt Ruff is an amazingly frantic writer who can take a story in fifteen different directions at once, but somehow tie them all back together in the most creative of ways.
