"The first crime novel I read that made me want to write one. It’s the original “American Psycho,” thirty years or so before Bret Easton Ellis."

"An immensely powerful writer. This, his second novel, is about a man who wakes up after a bad night with horns pushing out of his forehead."

If there is one thing scarier than a dystopian novel about the future, it’s one written in the past that has already begun to come true.

"A great social novel that feels shockingly contemporary as it confronts ideas of class. (Also, it must be said that Wharton’s novels are so deeply pleasurable.)"

"A highly complex and riveting novel that spans centuries, cultures, and families -- all from the perspective of a man that has been reincarnated as a fly!"

"A novel about fathers, sons, and families that intricately describes New York City and the complexity of its people. It really drew me into its world."

"Nobody has ever written like D.H.Lawrence (except bad imitators, and nothing’s more embarrassing than knock-off Lawrence. Sometimes he’s pretty embarrassing too). This novel transports you."

"“Home” is the third novel of Marilynne Robinson who, in another age, President Obama invited to the White House so that he could talk to her."

"Yuknavitch takes on art, sex, and the traumas of history in a gut-punch of a novel that reads like nothing else in current American fiction."

"“Reading Rachel Kushner’s novel The Flamethrowers, I could relate to the sensation of being young in New York, living on the outside of the art world."
