Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Scathing…Like a literary Nanny Diaries told from the perspective of beleaguered parents, Cheever’s tart tale skewers its protagonists’ ambition, materialism, literary pretensions, and sheltered lives…Satisfying.” —Publishers Weekly
“A twisted and gripping listen written by someone who understands the machinations of modern culture.” —AudioFile
“Biting humor and witty dialogue create a satirical tone that complements the disturbing story. This book first appears light and carefree and then packs a wallop, before wrapping everything up in an uneven, lopsided way.” —Library Journal
“Topsy-turvy…An immensely funny and sharp account of the vanity of human wishes.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Far too few people know that Benjamin Cheever is America’s best comic novelist. He can make a reader laugh out loud, but his purposes are serious, and his humor, like Waugh’s, derives from an awareness of the darker tendencies of human nature.” —Alec Wilkinson, author of My Mentor and Mr. Apology and Other Essays
