"Brian Kimberling's brisk, funny novel [is] set approximately 10 years after Czech independence, when Westernization had turned the country into a confused and unwholesome stew of capitalism and communism . . . The writing is smart, the quips are amusing . . . The story exudes . . . raffish charm."<b><br>--Sam Sacks, <i>The Wall Street Journal <p/></i></b>"<i>Goulash </i>by Brian Kimberling entertained me so much . . . Kimberling, who lived the expat nightmare, has a droll, quirky take on the scene . . . <i>Goulash </i>made me want another serving."<i><b><br>--</b></i><b>Bethanne Patrick, </b><i><b><i>Lit Hub</i></b></i> <p/>"A quirky, funny, melancholy portrait of a significant European moment, captured by this most subtle of Americans abroad."<br><b>--Tessa Hadley, author of <i>The Past</i> and <i>Late in the Day</i></b><br> <b> </b><br>"<i>Goulash</i> is a hilarious novel about a man's quest for a home in a place full of challenges and lots of beer--Prague, 1998. Wonderful dialogue, endearing characters, and a deep sense of the historical forces at work combine in all the best ways to make this story really delectable."<br><b>--Jessica Francis Kane, author of <i>This Close</i> and <i>The Report</i> <p/></b>"A vivid picture of a city creaking and shuddering as it settles into a new dispensation . . . This novel is quick to read, but its compelling pictures and insights will linger in the mind."<br><b>--Claire Hopley, <i>The Washington Times</i> <p/></b>"A winning, offbeat yarn about life and love after communism."<br><b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b> <p/>"Kimberling . . . is an exacting wordsmith capable of elegantly simple sentences, and his narrator's observations are often dryly hilarious . . . A remarkable evocation of time and place."<br><b>--<i>Booklist</i></b>
