Try as I might, I just cannot get into Lipsyte. People who's opinions I respect think he's a riot but it does not work for me. He's just no Charles Porier.

I liked this novel. It's inventive and I could see going back to it again. I just got on a Charles Portis kick.

The funniest book I have ever read, indubitably. I laughed out loud while reading CONTINUOUSLY. Absolutely genius and Bob Odenkirk is the ideal person for a blurb on the cover. I could see Bob and David doing a movie adaptation. Can't recommend highly enough. I'm going to gift this often.

Absolutely hilarious. Every page is laugh out loud funny.

This is as good as anything Saunders has ever written. The titular story is absolutely amazing and has shades of Severance the TV show. Love letter, a story from my grandfather to his grandson in an eerily similar world to our own, is better and more powerful on a second read. I loved every minute of this book and can't recommend it enough. Saunders truly is a voice for our times.

I didn’t finish it, but it was good. Lots of sex scenes. Is it make an interesting movie but I didn’t really feel like keep going.

Definitely intriguing me.

This book was simply impossible not to begin reading immediately because of the cover. I spent a year working at the Worcester public library and the staff fourth floor lunchroom looked out on this statue in the back of City Hall?!?

Had to return it and was reading too many other things that piqued my interest at the time.

The opening titular story is absolutely mind blowing. Reminds me a lot of the great TV show Severance in that there is an aspect of memory severance. I’m going to write a more full examination of it but I’m already thrilled that Saunders has returned to his more speculative fiction like short story writing. Lincoln on the Bardo just didn’t work for me, but this work is more in the vein 10th of December.
