...a spirited sendup of the frauds found in art, academia and their ""liminal"" intersections.

Wendy Smith,
The Washington Post
... not always quite as clever as the author intends, but it has plenty of energy to atone for its predictable satiric targets and some real emotional heft to counter the whiffs of pretentiousness.

A triumphant literary debut with notes of both The Art of Fielding and The Flamethrowers.

Will Chancellor’s debut novel is a wild ride.
Mixed
Publishers Weekly
Chancellor’s debut is a twisting, globe-trotting affair that unfortunately suffers from poor pacing and frequently dwells on the mundane. The result is a mixed bag, unsure of its own identity, like many of the book’s characters.
Positive
Kirkus
A father searches for his vanished son in this edgily comic first novel, which has fun with the worlds of art and academia.
