PRAISE FOR IBID
"Delicious reading. The writing's playful and witty, and there's a good bit of inventive silliness to the tale. Dazzling fun." - THE BOSTON GLOBE
"As fun and non-nutritious as picking the most buttery kernels of popcorn out of the bowl, Ibid is a book-long structural stunt . . . God really is in the details."-TIME OUT NEW YORK

"Unbearably hilarious." Los Angeles Times
After his editor's son accidentally drowns the sole copy of his latest manuscript in the bathtub, Mark Dunn (a character in his own novel) makes the best of a bad situation. He will tell the story of three-legged circus performer-cum-deodorant magnate and humanitarian Jonathan Blashette through the only part of the text that survives: the footnotes. The result is a riotous and irreverent romp through recent history that finds in the margins of a fictitious life a surprisingly revealing angle on who and what we consider newsworthy, and why.
