Reviews
"The wisest, most humane and transcendent novel on the contemporary family since The Corrections. . . . A marvelous book." -- Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting
"Meno masterfully, and meaningfully, conflates the fantastic with the everyday. . . . Tender, funny, spooky, and gripping." -- Donna Seaman - Booklist
"A darkly funny, lyrical, and shrewdly observant chronicle of a family on the verge of a nervous breakdown." -- Tom Perrotta, author of The Abstinence Teacher
"Meno is thinking hard about why the world is the way it is and about where hope for change might reasonably lie." -- Jonathan Dee - New York Times Book Review


Awards
