About this title

Synopsis

A collection of original and witty stories includes "Anaconda Wrap," about a movie executive whose film about the Donner party is a flop, and two stories, "Remote Feed" and "Still in Motion," both set in the Galapagos Islands

Review

"Vanity Fair"

Hilarious and unnerving.

Michelle Goldberg

"Salon"

Scathing writing can be exhilarating.

Christine DeZelar-Tiedman

"Library Journal"

Recommended for literary collections.

"Kirkus Reviews"

An intelligent Darwinian debut collection...[the] writing [has] zest.

"Time Out"

One is mesmerized by Gilbert's daring and absolute persuasiveness....[A] distinctive voice.

Mike Musgrove

"The Washington Post"

These stories are funny and thoroughly entertaining....Keep an eye on this guy David Gilbert.

Sara Nelson

"Glamour"

The short stories in David Gilbert's "Remote Feed" speak volumes about the ways modern men seek adventure and comfort.

Donna Seaman

"Booklist"

The action in Gilbert's fast, witty, unnerving stories is dark and edgy to be sure, but his prose gleams, a beacon in the fog of our numb days and nights.

Adam Goodheart

"The New York Times Book Review"

Gilbert's dead-on mimicry of conversational rhythms makes even the most ludicrous exchange sound plausible, and he applies physical details sparingly and potently...wickedly funny.

Gina Vivinetto

"St Petersburg Times" (Florida)

If you read one short-story collection all year, promise me it will be Gilbert's....He's just about the funniest social commentator since Fran Lebowitz....To call Gilbert insightful is an understatement.
