Review:
"Dyja pulls the past straight into the present with this novel, which manages to be both hilarious and disturbing" (Erica Wagner The Times)

"Thomas Dyja spins a fascinating tale of a man who tries to solve his problems in the present by immersing himself in the past, with eerie and almost heartbreaking success" (Margot Livesey)

"Dyja has created a modern achetype in Steven Armour, a man in desperate need of some authenticity in his life who, in the end, gets more authenticity than he bargained for" (Jonathan Dee)

"Wondrous, wry and moving... the novel is a joy... as surprising as it is poignant" (Washington Post)
Book Description:
'Chucking it all in - all the pointless anxiety, all the buzzing lite crap with which we surround ourselves - is an urge everyone feels, or ought to. In Meet John Trow, Thomas Dyja uses that impulse to drive a novel that's part satire, part domestic drama, part post-modern ghost story. And the whole thing works like a dream' - Kurt Andersen
