“His own brand of Dada … If there’s a pea (or more) of genius hidden amid the walnut shells he’s shuffling across the book, it’s on us to find it”

“The tales often adopt a knowing, nerd-chic irony. Characters with names like Bethany Blanket and Vernon Bodily are rendered in prose full of writerly self-deprecation and mock hipsterdom”

The New York Times Book Review · Lydia Millet · Positive
