“I laughed out loud—and I never laugh out loud.” —Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club and Choke
“Sam Lipsyte [is] scabrously, deliriously, piss-yourself funny.” —Jennifer Schuessler, The New York Review of Books
“Lipsyte is a gifted stylist, precise, original, devious, and very funny. In a time when the language of most novels is dead on arrival, this book, about a dying man, is startlingly alive.” —Jeffrey Eugenides, author of Middlesex
“Falls somewhere between Chuck Palahniuk and George Saunders. Let’s throw Vonnegut in there as an influence too. And Pynchon...This is Satire with a capital S....An enormously likable first novel.” —Esquire
“A spot-on DeLillo-like excavation of our consuming consumer culture, and the ultimate fear---the fear of death---that lurks behind it.” —San Francisco Chronicle
