Description: "Flusfeder's farcical morality tale is darkly comedic but also surprisingly sweet in all the right places." -- Booklist "A witty, razor sharp novel, with just the right amount of tenderness." -- Publishers Weekly "The best book you'll give yourself all year. Don't waste it on anyone else--they don't deserve it.' -- Will Self "Unexpectedly wise and generous: a complete story and a very good one." -- Jonathan Franzen "A compelling, provokingly ambivalent and often surprisingly tender story." -- London Times "Piercingly well-written..a psychological thriller, a meditation on the barrenness of modern, material life [and] a gloomily funny novel." -- Sunday Express (London) "Flusfeder is certainly doing something different from and more interesting than most contemporary British novelists." -- Independent (UK) "A deep and surreal exposition on the cruelty of generosity...the perfect present for your successful friends." -- London Times (Sunday) "The perfect gift to answer all gifts...remarkably perceptive...a triumph." -- Observer (UK) "Flusfeder spins reality into a dream and back again...[giving] us a gift he may find hard to match." -- Guardian "A moving, desperate farce in which the gifts and their consequences keep on coming...a dashingly written comic novel." -- Saturday Telegraph (London) "A black comedy of rare originality...[that] has the makings of a cult classic. Read it and read it again." -- Mail on Sunday (London) "An extremely funny book. Seldom has the desperation of modern man been so devastatingly portrayed. -- Marie Claire (UK)
