Busy Monsters by William Giraldi
The best literary present . . . has a delicate sweetness that shows through at just the right moments.Ron Charles, Washington Post Book World
"Comedy, satire, farce, language. . . [A] release from the familiar and banal . . . has the kind of agenda that gives heft to the picaresque novels from which it is derived." -- New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice
"Wonderful. . . . Singular and arresting . . . filled with quirky turns of phrase, unexpected literary and cultural allusions, self-aware asides, and highfalutin word choices that would make Roget swell with pride." -- Salon
"Starred Review. [A] riotous debut novel." -- Publishers Weekly
"Starred Review. A brilliant first novel that may well be in the running for 2011 literary awards." -- Library Journal
