(editorial review)
Oikos accurately captures the woe of everyday life for a generation without a common gripe. Lamb should not be seen as one person but as a composite image of every man born between 1982 and 1989: mostly distant, lost, and wondering what our parents had that we do not.

In Oikos, Adam Moorad excels at two things in particular: characterization and conveying the minutiae of everyday life. Moorad does an excellent job at explaining protagonist Lamb's train of thought, how Lamb'll be thinking of one thing, which leads to another, which leads to another, and so on, until he's crafted a faux-scenario that has little to do with the original thought.

i saw the word "oikos" on a container of yogurt the other day. i thought that the book oikos and the yogurt oikos must have something to do with each other. you should read oikos while eating vanilla yogurt, they both seemed to be saying to each other.
while i read the book i had feelings parading before my emotion box like the candy and popcorn on vintage advertisements before movies at movie theaters that never existed.
