“The best literary present . . . has a delicate sweetness that shows through at just the right moments.”―Ron Charles, Washington Post Book World
Echoing a narrative line that includes Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller, William Giraldi’s Busy Monsters has been hailed as one of the most exciting fiction debuts in years. Penned with a linguistic bravado that explores the diaphanous line between fiction and fact, this “very funny, very inventive début novel” (The New Yorker) has at last revived the great American picaresque tradition."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Review:
“Comedy, satire, farce, language. . . . [A] release from the familiar and banal . . . has the kind of agenda that gives heft to the picaresque novels from which it is derived.”
- New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice
“Wonderful. . . . Singular and arresting . . . filled with quirky turns of phrase, unexpected literary and cultural allusions, self-aware asides, and highfalutin word choices that would make Roget swell with pride.”
- Salon
“Starred Review. [A] riotous debut novel.”
- Publishers Weekly
“Starred Review. A brilliant first novel that may well be in the running for 2011 literary awards.”
