<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>With a New Introduction by Jonathan Franzen <p/>There's Rob, Bob, Tom, Paul, Ralph, and Noah; Nick, Dennis, Bertram, Russell, and Virgil. The doctor, the documentary filmmaker, and the sculptor in burning steal; the eldest, the youngest, and the celebrated perfect brother, Benedict. In Donald Antrim's mordantly funny novel <i>The Hundred Brothers</i>, our narrator and his colossal fraternity of ninety-eight brothers (one couldn't make it) have assembled in the crumbling library of their family's estate for a little sinister fun. Executed with the invention and intelligence of Barthelme and Pynchon, Antrim's taxonomy of male specimens is in equal proportions disturbing and absurdly hilarious.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A fiercely intelligent writer . . .

A striking literary discovery." --<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>"Elegant, outrageously imagined, comic . . . Antrim exaggerates his narrator into hilarious existence." --<i>The New Yorker</i> <p/>"A fantasy that capers between atavistic ritual and inspired slapstick." --<i>Time</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Donald Antrim is the critically acclaimed author of <i>Elect Mr. Robinson for a Better World, The Hundred Brothers, </i>and<i> The Verificationist</i>, as well <i>The Afterlife</i>, a memoir about his mother.
