The mysteries are compelling and their unraveling a pleasure to watch. As an added bonus, the book is full of other good books and no end of fantastic meals. Life can be both hard and joyous and this wonderful book acknowledges both."</p><p>Karen Joy Fowler, author of <em>We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves</em></p><p><br></p><p>"Life and art, process and product, are inextricable for Jory Post. The stories he tells are simultaneously rooted in great specificity and engaged with the processes of storytelling: with the surprises of memory and invention, with the ways in which art is made and shared, and with the dynamics of communities in which art flourishes. He's happening, and his art is happening - it's exciting work."</p><p>Jonathan Franzen, author of <em>Purity</em></p><p><br></p><p>"A brilliant novel of reckoning, joyous and sinister, showcasing Post's genius at depicting the material of existence, the exquisite quality of every living day."</p><p>Elizabeth McKenzie, author of <em>The Portable Veblen</em></p><br>
