One of the most exciting American novelists writing today. --The Times Literary Supplement (England)
Powerful, hysterically funny and evocative. Stretches the boundaries of what novels can be and mean.. --The Los Angeles Reader
Published [almost] the same year as Infinite Jest, this book is as formally ambitious, except honestly better. It makes postmodernism, and reading, worth the effort.
--The Fader
Some have called this the best American novel of the 1990s... Anyone with even a passing interest in the contemporary novel needs to read this book, which is truly a lost classic. This is a great book that deserves a wider readership. --Known Unknowns
Undoubtedly an exceptional literary work [and] a rare exercise of artistic freedom... I believe with all certainty that [The Lost Scrapbook] deserves to occupy a prominent place in the canon of the American novel. --Robert Saladrigas, La Vanguardia newspaper (Barcelona)
"A dazzling blow," "An unknown masterwork," "We are surely before one of the best books of contemporary literature," "A novel of the highest narrative importance for its generation and for the ones to follow, which has been (and continues to be) mercilessly ignored," "The first novel written in THX" --(reviews from Spain)
This book, little read but hyperbolically praised and cultishly adored by those who have, had been on my radar for some time... I described praise for The Lost Scrapbook as hyperbolic, but I kinda have to take that back. All of the praise it receives is perfectly due. As much as I hate agreeing with anyone ever, it must be said: it's a visionary novel, completely sure-handed, and I've never read anything like it. Compare it to Pynchon or Gaddis if you must, but Dara's work really has nothing in common with theirs... If we had more of a literary culture, this is a book that would be hailed as Important. I sure am glad that it's out there for those who seek it. --Inchoatia
