« "PORTABLE" OUR ASS ... | Main | TEV EXCERPT: "SENSELESSNESS" - CHAPTER ONE »
The comments to this entry are closed.
In his recent TEV guest review of Home Land, Jim Ruland called Sam Lipsyte the "funniest writer of his generation," and we're quite inclined to agree. We tore through Home Land in two joyful sittings and can't remember the last time we've laughed so hard. Lipsyte's constellation of oddly sympathetic losers is rendered with a sparkling, inspired prose style that's sent us off in search of all his prior work. In Lewis Miner's (a.k.a Teabag) woeful epistolary dispatches to his high school alumni newsletter ("I did not pan out."), we find an anti-hero for the age. Highly, highly recommended.
One of the big chains in the UK was carrying it a few days ago. In terms of the back cover blurb/ design, and juxtaposition with other titles in the shop, it appears you are being marketed as chick-lit in England

I bought it in a Waterstones on Tuesday. Its in the 3 for 2 offer, which would be a big deal for a debut novelist in the UK.
...it was disturbingly close to the chick-lit section, now that I think of it...

As is the usually the case, the UK cover is much better. You can't judge a book by its cover, but most people do anyway.

Walked into my local bookshop, O'Mahony's in Limerick, Ireland, and there was your book, front and centre with the new releases in the best position in the shop.
