Pressezitat
A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of 2013 “Skewers pretensions of writers and writing, editors and publishers—and perhaps audiences—in a literary thriller. . . . Marvelously intriguing.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Whom do we really write for and why? Langer’s mad-genius look at creativity, publishing, and the difference between what we do for love and what we’re forced to do for money, plumbs the dark side of inspiration with funhouse aplomb.

“‘Revelatory. Keeps all its secrets to the end, which is a whopper.’ . . . Wait. That’s a blurb for a novel within Adam Langer’s novel.

A lot of fun, up to and including that whopper . . .” —Ben Yagoda, author of How to Not Write Bad: The Most Common Writing Problems and the Best Ways to Avoid Them and Memoir: A History

seems.” —Jonathan Evison, author of West of Here and The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving Praise for Adam Langer “Adam Langer’s enigmatic new book . . . twists and turns like a Mobius strip.” —National Public Radio on The Thieves of Manhattan “Langer has that rare combination of fierce intelligence, wicked wit and the ability to make you turn the pages at wrist-splintering speed.” —USA Today on Ellington Boulevard “A wonderful, heartfelt book.” —Ken Burns, director of The Civil War, on My Father’s Bonus March “The most vivid novel about Chicago since Saul Bellow’s Herzog and the most ambitious debut set in Chicago since Philip Roth’s Letting Go . . .A terrific book.” —Chicago Tribune on Crossing California
