Product Description

Review

"One of the most remarkably talented writers around." -- Washington Post Book World"

Review

"The careful reader will tease out many solid truths from the tangle of humor, history, surrealism and speculation. The density of ideas packed into this short book is as impressive as Disch’s mastery of his craft." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Amusing and subversive . . . veteran [Thomas M.] Disch fires another salvo in the ongoing debate between atheists and believers. —Booklist

"Thomas M. Disch isn't afraid of backlash for what some might consider the writings of a heretic . . . extraordinarily funny." —Kirkus Reviews

"One of the most remarkably talented writers around." —Washington Post Book World

"While Disch's frequent references to suffering and the afterlife can be painful to read after his recent suicide, they make for a fitting coda to a career spent perfecting the art of the unsettling. A-." —Entertainment Weekly

"Diversely gifted . . . entirely original . . . joyously versatile . . . a unique talent." —Newsweek

"When it comes to Thomas Disch, label makers scratch their heads." —Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"Constructs a more complex relationship between the reader and what is read, between the implied author and the real author and the implied reader and the real person . . . between reportage and fictionality, between text and pretext, than any book I can remember encountering." ——SCI FI Weekly
