Critical Praise
"Ambitious... consistently inventive....A considerable achievement."
-Michael Gorra, New York Times Book Review
"Moody's dark wit and unflinching eye for the bathetic render him a particularly appropriate seer of contemporary alienation....He captures with piercing clarity the vacuity of his characters' lives."
-Claire Messud, Village Voice
"Often wonderful prose....Moody's language pushes and pulls boundaries; it avoids and seeks intimacy, with the same insistence, terror, and self-consciousness as Moody's protagonists."
-Amy Bloom, Boston Globe
"Rick Moody has caught the dark and anarchic undercurrents of personal lives in New York City... and he has set them (discreetly and unpretentiously) in a larger philosophical context....The range and ingenuity are impressive."
-Madison Smartt Bell, Spin
