_______________
'... utterly delicious. A very surreal book and very witty' - The Times
'One of the New Yorker's twenty writers for the twenty-first century, Antrim unmasks the fragility of identity with prodigious wit' - Esquire
_______________
Twenty psychoanalysts and a narrator meet for dinner in a pancake house. The narrator, Tom, finds himself locked in a bear hug by Bernhardt, the father figure of the group. The effects are disastrous as he is forced into an out-of-body experience and watches as his friendships and marriage unravel.
_______________
'Antrim shares Vladimir Nabokov's revelry in wordplay, Thomas Pynchon's antic comedy and Donald Barthelme's sense of the surreal - he nonetheless manages to create, with each new novel, a fictional universe that's wholly, truly his own. The Verificationist is yet another tour de force, demonstrating again what makes Antrim's voice so compelling and unique' - Sunday Herald
