“ You Don’t Love Me Yet was a minor failure; Chronic City is a major one. The boy who wanted to grow up so fast that he ended up feeling as if he’d never grown up at all has become a richly gifted artist who worries that his best years are behind him. His recent output gives us all too much reason to fear the same.
William Deresiewicz from his extensive review of Chronic City in The New Republic.
Side note: I reached the half way point of this novel last night and while I’m trying with all my might to like this book. I don’t. Well there are moments in this book that are impressive, they’re few and far between and I’m completely disappointed.
