The Only Good Thing Anyone Has Ever Done
The Only Good Thing Anyone Has Ever Done (2002)
Sandra Newman
"Sandra Newman has an amazingly original way of thinking. The Only Good Thing Anyone Has Ever Done is often hysterically funny, profoundly strange, and unbearably beautiful. Often all at once."
It's All Right Now
It's All Right Now (2005)
Charles Chadwick
"This novel is huge - in size (obviously), ambition, intelligence and heart. "
Zoology
Zoology (2007)

Beautiful Children
Beautiful Children (2008)
