Reviews
Sharp, sad, sophisticated, funny and sometimes exceedingly strange -- Kate Saunders * The Times *
Lucky Alan is worth reading for those stories that convey so adroitly people's beleaguered attempts to communicate with one another. -- Hannah Beckerman * Guardian *
Intriguing. -- Aamer Hussein * Independent *
The confidence of Lethem's narration and the clarity of his language save any of this from whimsy: that's a tough trick to pull off, but Lethem does it over and over again. No wonder he won a MacArthur fellowship (the famous "genius grant") a decade ago. -- Erica Wagner * Financial Times *
A powerful glimpse into where Lethem is as a writer right now. * Bookmunch (Blog) *
