The Hundred Brothers

"A fiercely intelligent writer . . . This is a bravura nightmare."—The New York Times

"The author's surreal vision is both imaginative and wholly his own . . . A striking literary discovery."—The Boston Globe

"Elegant, outrageously imagined, comic . . . Antrim exaggerates his narrator into hilarious existence."—The New Yorker

"A fantasy that capers between atavistic ritual and inspired slapstick."—Time

"The plot, of course, is secondary here: What matters is Antrim's ability to keep an impossible concept spinning, to come up with more and more outrageous variations, and he does exactly this in a wonderfully calm and assured manner. Few writers can match his inventiveness or his determination to remind us that the best fiction can be simply about the pleasure that comes from the free play of the imagination. Another unique work from the most delightfully idiosyncratic of young American writers."—Kirkus Reviews
