Editorial Reviews:
Review:

"A manic, human, flawed extravaganza...emerging straight from the excessive tradition of Stanly Elkin's 'Franchiser', Thomas Pynchon's 'V', John Irving's 'The World According to Garp'."

New York Times Book Review

Review:

"['The Broom of the System'] elicited cries of 'Pynchonesque!' from diverse quarters; some of them to be sure, using the adjective in its usual sense, i.e., as reviewer's code for 'I didn't finish it,' others so besotted with Pynchon that they see his scat everywhere, a few finding genuine similarities."

David Kipen, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 2/11/1996
