Reception[]
A Publishers Weekly review says, "Reminiscent of early Rick Moody or the short stories of Daniel Handler, each of Boudinot's 13 stories is a microcosm of weirdness imbued with imagination and maniacal wit".[1] A Kirkus Reviews review says "When Boudinot writes shtick, he's tiresome. When he writes fully developed stories, he's abrasive, thought-provoking and explosively funny".[2] The book was Publishers Weekly's book of the year.[3]
