Intriguing.
Aamer Hussein, Independent
Lucky Alan is worth reading for those stories that convey so adroitly people’s beleaguered attempts to communicate with one another.
Hannah Beckerman, Guardian
A powerful glimpse into where Lethem is as a writer right now.
Bookmunch (Blog)
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
Sharp, sad, sophisticated, funny and sometimes exceedingly strange
Kate Saunders, The Times
These strange, largely wonderful short stories are yet another welcome dispatch from the freewheeling imagination of one of America’s most admired prose writers.
