Reviews
"[A] witty, sympathetic, and often painfully funny take on real loneliness in the virtual, socially networked world." - Library Journal "Coe's voice, spoken through Max's perspective, effuses the novel with an easy, understated and satirical sense of humor that is a joy to read . . . An excellent and entertaining take on how our countless methods of modern communication are making it harder to truly connect." -Katie Stroh, The Daily Texan "[A] beguiling combination of picaresque comic adventure, meditation on the idea of meta-narrative, and thought-provoking reflection on the place of social media in our lives." -Heather Paulson, Booklist "Funny, acerbic and, most of all, a novel that could not have been born at any other time than the present." -"What We're Reading Now," NPR "A smart satire of materialism and modern life . . . Coe is a funny writer, and it''s a testament to his skill with character that for all of his hero's maddening faults and failures, Sim never wears out his welcome . . . Much like its targets, the book stubbornly delivers moments of humor and humanity." -Chris Barton, Los Angeles Times "Touching and admirable . . . Coe masterfully equips [his] vibrant and ingenious novels . . . with trap-like ironies that snap shut on his characters without bending them out of shape." -Mark Martin, Barnes and Noble Review "Beguiling . . . Coe has devised a powerful structure upon which to hang his exacting sense of humor and acute social observations, [and he] leaves the reader uncomfortably engaged with the consequences of Max's terrible privacy, an unbearable loneliness that I would wager many of us share in this globalized world of greater and greater connectedness in which we are anything but connected." -Martha McPhee, San Francisco Chronicle "Coe's ninth novel cleverly plays with the reclusive-in-plain-sight notion and pokes gentle fun at our society's love affair with modern gadgetry. It is a compelling, poignant read." -Sara Vilkomerson, Entertainment Weekly "On the one hand, [Coe's] novels are immensely pleasurable in traditional ways: rich in characterization, emotionally resonant, thoughtfully plotted. On the other, he's committed to unorthodox, even daring formal conceits, which energize his books by shaking them out of any possible complacency . . . Coe manages all that while also being very, very funny. There are many contemporary writers who can make you laugh, but Coe is one of the few whose comic set pieces do that and feel like miniature works of art. He has a genius for perfectly constructed jokes with hilarious payoffs." -Ed Park, Bookforum "In his sparkling and hugely enjoyable new book Jonathan Coe reinvents the picaresque novel for our time." - Yorkshire Evening Post "Clever, engaging, and spring-loaded with mysteries and surprises." -Caroline McGinn, Time Out "A brilliant depiction of 21st century life [and] a truly magnificent novel…Coe manages to make me howl with laughter and sob with tenderness within the same sentence." -Patrick Neate, The Bookseller "Classic Coe." - Vogue "[Coe] gives us witty and tender humanity, and reminds us that while the winners write the history, it is life's losers who have the best stories." -Simon Baker, The Spectator "An amiably lunatic journey into the unknown…Coe's satirical eye is as dependable as ever." - Financial Times "Most entertaining…A parable about the feeling many now have of not being in control of their own story." - The Independent "Cunningly plotted, extremely well-written and very, very funny." - The Telegraph "Exceptionally moving…[it tells] us something about loneliness, failure and the inability to cope that we haven't quite read before." - The Guardian "Masterly…[Coe's] eye for the details of contemporary life remains as sharp as ever."- Daily Mail, "Coe's voice, spoken through Max's perspective, effuses the novel with an easy, understated and satirical sense of humor that is a joy to read . . .
