About this title

About the Author

One of the most exciting American novelists writing today. --The Times Literary Supplement

Dara's novels are astonishing -- challenging, funny, groundbreaking, stylish, brave. They are big contemporary novels where ambition and execution are both huge and come together perfectly. --Conversational Reading

In the audacity of [their] invention...Dara’s novels are arguably the most radically disruptive books in American fiction since, say, Gilbert Sorrentino in a work like Mulligan Stew (1979). --The Reading Experience

Dara is the best-kept secret in all of contemporary American literature... For all of their formal innovation, Dara's novels are both exceptionally funny and surprisingly warm and human... Anyone who reads either book will discover perhaps the most interesting author writing in English today. --Triple R Radio (Melbourne, Australia)
