![]() ![]() "Among writers this is a well-known 'underappreciated' novel. ![]() A simple sentence fragment-'Canoe, moon, ukelele'-seems a close to perfect expression of lost beauty." - The New Yorker "The author, who is known as a minimalist, here creates a narrative out of fragmented paragraphs, and the book works best when she strips Money's most explicit fears away. "I wish to hell I could write prose like this.The joy in this novel is for the reader, not the characters. It's an amazing little book: all of Robison's minimalist genius is at work here." -Cathleen Schine, New York Times Book Review "An epic portrayed in miniature, a cry of cosmic pain in a voice of absurdist humor, an earnest insistence on maternal love in the language of skepticism and family dysfunction. ![]() dark jewel of a novel." -Francine Prose, O: The Oprah Magazine. "Mary Robison, almost as an afterthought, has created a novel that speaks volumes about life in Los Angeles: its stopping and starting, its rushing and emoting, its whimsy and its suspicious, subversive humor." - Los Angeles Times Book Review Winner of the LA Times Book Prize for Fiction ![]()
