"A revelation."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A mordantly wry examination of one disgruntled man's life. . . . Greathead's portrayal of an aggrieved white man struggling to find his place in the world is as much a portrait of an unsuccessful artist as a young man as it is a portrait of our times."
--Kirkus Reviews "This book is a knockout. Mesmerizing from page one, it's
Stoner meets
Mrs. Bridge meets George, the millennial male we can't look away from. Kate Greathead has gifted us with a character for the ages and a novel that is sure to be swooned over and endlessly discussed."
--Maria Semple, New York Times bestselling author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette "Kate Greathead is an astonishingly talented writer. Every sentence in this novel glitters with insight and humor. A perceptive, funny and tender portrayal of the complicated relationships that define our adulthood."
--Alison Espach, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding People "
The Book of George is not only an excellent novel, it's also one of the most interesting books I've read in a long time. Engaging from the first page, it nevertheless gains momentum as it progresses, deftly building toward something larger and unexpected, a portrait of a character--and to an extent a generation--that's as convincing as it is moving."
--Adelle Waldman, bestselling author of The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. and Help Wanted
