Readings & Literature

June 05 2009 to July 05 2009

 
 

"Fantastically charming, funny, and smart. I felt my brain growing as I read it. Who knew the combination of cartography and adolescence could prove to be so touching and so much fun?" -- Gary Shteyngart, author of Absurdistan

"Fans of Wes Anderson will find much to love in the offbeat characters and small (and sometimes not so small) touches of magic thrown into the mix during the cross-country, train-hopping adventure of a 12-year-old mapmaking prodigy, T. S. Spivet." -- Publisher's Weekly

"Two predictions about The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet: readers are going to love it as much as I did, and few if any will have experienced anything like it. I'm flabbergasted by Reif Larsen's talent, and I was warmed by his generosity. Here is a book that does the impossible: it combines Mark Twain, Thomas Pynchon, and Little Miss Sunshine. Good novels entertain; great ones come as a gift to the readers who are lucky enough to find them. This book is a treasure." --Stephen King

"Reif Larsen's The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet is a novel that's easy to talk about but difficult to write about. It's a natural distinction for a book that's so beautifully designed and obsessively layed out-what can one say with mere words, after all, when the subject of one's words is a text that incorporates as marginalia scientific diagrams, heartbreaking sketches, sweeping illustration, and nuanced cartography. I'll just say that Larsen's debut is everything one could hope for from such an expansively composed volume: it is by turns beautiful, moving, witty, informative, mysterious, and devastating." - The Walrus
