"Ross--in a brilliant stylistic mirror of marriage--blends dream and reality, fact and perception in a narrative that's both cinematic and lyrical...The book is by turns harrowing, tender and funny." --Nancy Connors, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Mr. Peanut is full of tricks: shifting narrations, quirky chronology and meta-novels within novels. The effect is disorienting, but the characters are too well drawn to feel like pawns in some game. The result is a deliciously clever book, full of dark insight and even a touch of hope." --The Economist "Fearless, challenging and unforgettable...Mr. Peanut is acutely funny and profoundly sad, an unexpected and unsettling journey into the heart of contemporary darkness....[Ross is] a sublimely impertinent new writer." --Steve Whitton, The Anniston Star "[A] major work....Stories are told and retold, hinge on one another, depend, and connect. That layering, that subsonic, towering buildup, is how Mr. Peanut works, and it is a marvel." --John Timpane, The Philadelphia Inquirer "An author whose voice is so distinct and vivid that you truly can't find any comparison [and] a book whose combination of rhythm, language and style are unlike anything else I've ever encountered...a sort of wondrous literary alchemy [that's] laugh-out-loud funny and shrewdly aware of human nature...Read Mr. Peanut for its insight into marriage. Read it for the humor. Read it for the thrills. Just read it, please." --Joy Tipping, The Dallas Morning News "An ambitious and well-crafted noir that manages to humanise its characters while fashioning their stories into a gripping page-turner. Ross's depiction of love and hatred, and the conflicted ways we manifest these feelings, is both sensitive and fearless." --Mary Fitzgerald, The Guardian (U.K.) "Plainly thrilling...the work of a boundlessly eager writer willing to try just about anything, and invite us to share in his sinister joy." Christopher Kelly, The Kansas City Star "Exciting and strangely moving [and] vastly ambitious....The whodunit aspect of Mr. Peanut is absorbing, but the infinite mysteries of marriage are really at the heart of this novel and drive its considerable emotional suspense." --Hilma Wolitzer, The East Hampton Star "A murder mystery [and] also a complicated jigsaw puzzle of intertwined relationships....This may be [Ross's] first novel, but it's written as though he's been doing it for ages." --Dwight Silverman, Houston Chronicle"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
