Praise for this book
A darkly funny, lyrical, and shrewdly observant chronicle of a family on the verge of a nervous breakdown.--Tom Perrotta, author of The Abstinence Teacher
The wisest, most humane and transcendent novel on the contemporary family since The Corrections. . . . A marvelous book.--Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting
Meno masterfully, and meaningfully, conflates the fantastic with the everyday. . . . Tender, funny, spooky, and gripping.--Donna Seaman "Booklist"
Meno is thinking hard about why the world is the way it is and about where hope for change might reasonably lie.--Jonathan Dee "New York Times Book Review"
