Review:
Immensely endearing . . . And how nice to hear two people actually laugh during sex.
Marvelously bawdy . . . but what stands out finally is the finely honed prose of a writer with a rare wit.
Funny and intelligent and, to say the very least, sexy.
Alive with the pleasures of language . . . terribly funny, formidably intelligent.
An exuberantly Joycean, yes, Joycean, celebration of carnality and creativity--an everything-goes, risk-taking, maniacally wild and funny and painful novel . . . brilliant.
This freewheeling celebration, this dancing wordplay . . . delights the mind as well as the ear. A truly marvelous read.
It is Markson's genius to have an ear that most writers would kill for.
As amoral and exuberant as if it were told by Dylan Thomas to the Wife of Bath . . . fills one with as much awe as laughter. --Douglas Day
So rich in allusions, precision puns, extraordinary metaphors, Joycean wordplay, yeasty quotes and breathtaking prose and poetry that a lesser writer than David Markson would merely dazzle the reader. --Les Whitten, author of Moses: The Lost Book of the Bible
