Vanity Fair Hilarious and unnerving.
Adam Goodheart The New York Times Book Review Gilbert's dead-on mimicry of conversational rhythms makes even the most ludicrous exchange sound plausible, and he applies physical details sparingly and potently...wickedly funny.
Mike Musgrove The Washington Post These stories are funny and thoroughly entertaining....Keep an eye on this guy David Gilbert.
Time Out One is mesmerized by Gilbert's daring and absolute persuasiveness....[A] distinctive voice.
Kirkus Reviews An intelligent Darwinian debut collection...[the] writing [has] zest.
Christine DeZelar-Tiedman Library Journal Recommended for literary collections.
Sara Nelson Glamour The short stories in David Gilbert's Remote Feed speak volumes about the ways modern men seek adventure and comfort.
Michelle Goldberg Salon Scathing writing can be exhilarating.
Donna Seaman Booklist The action in Gilbert's fast, witty, unnerving stories is dark and edgy to be sure, but his prose gleams, a beacon in the fog of our numb days and nights.
Gina Vivinetto St Petersburg Times (Florida) If you read one short-story collection all year, promise me it will be Gilbert's....He's just about the funniest social commentator since Fran Lebowitz....To call Gilbert insightful is an understatement.
