Some early reviews!
“Realism may still command the heights of American fiction, but insurgents are in it to win it. With titans such as Pynchon and DeLillo in their late 80s, now comes a generation captained by Ed Park…After the ornate sprawl of the novel, he revels in the shorter form, a palpable joy on the page. Irony has never had it so good.” —Hamilton Cain, Los Angeles Times
“Exuberant…These are comedies of embarrassment, but happily there is no embarrassment to the comedy, no leavening of the gags and witticisms with serious issues. It is easy to become demoralized by American fiction, which sometimes seems to be exclusively tailored to celebrity book clubs. But to read [Park] is to find a literary scene in a state of rude health.” —Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal
