“Being in love is the least efficient mode of existence, like going through life with a piano on your back.” — Bar Maid
Debut novel by DANIEL ROBERTS
Reviews
“An archly comic love story with notes of farce and fable . . . Roberts’s old school, slightly surreal humor has a dash or Barthelme or Perelman.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“Daniel Roberts’s rowdy and tender coming-of-age romp is proof positive that, even in the Ivy League, the best education is always found off-campus.”
— Dennis O’Neill, screenwriter and author of The River Wild
“A snazzy, robust, sometimes hilarious novel about a kid ‘stuck in the 80s, figuring stuff out.””
— Nick Lyons, author of Fire in the Straw
