"An original and inspired work of fiction."

--Washington Post

"A perceptive and darkly entertaining novel...

expansive, great-hearted, and acidly funny."

--New York Times Book Review

"What looks at first glance like a sweet-tempered satire of workplace culture is revealed upon closer inspection to be a very serious novel about, well, America. It may even be in its own modest way, a great American novel."

--Los Angeles Times
