"A perceptive and darkly entertaining novel...
expansive, great-hearted, and acidly funny."

"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
