| "A CRYING OF LOT 49 nostalgia hit...[and] an enthralling debut." (starred review) 02/11/2008 "[A] brainy, whimsical, emotionally contained first novel by Rivka Galchen, a young M.D. turned M.F.A...Galchen's inventive narrative strategies call to mind the playful techniques of Jonathan Lethem, Franz Kafka, Primo Levi and Thomas Pynchon." - Liesl Schillinger 07/13/2008 "Gaichen's remarkably assured debut is not just funny, passionate, idiosyncratic and original, but her observations on love and memory prove wise beyond her years." - Marc Schultz 01/05/2009 |
