Reviews
Dunthorne is a superbly economical writer--he crams an awful lot of plot into 173 pages--and one with a poet's sensibility: a room is described as 'uncle-scented'; a paper plate of baba ganoush is 'smooshed' under a shoe. He is also properly funny. . . . But throughout, the novel's comedy is always balanced by insight and poignancy., The ending of Joe Dunthorne's new novel, The Adulterants, is so good I had to go back and reread it immediately to try to figure out how he did it. . . . Brilliant., Wincingly good and brilliantly observed . . . [A] riveting read led by a character we care about and believe in., Dunthorne (Submarine) zeroes in with precision on that period of life when work and family exert increasing pressure on immature young men. Ray, who narrates, has charm to spare, and his self-deprecating attitude goes a long way to compensate for his many flaws. Dunthorne's sly wit locates the humor in even the slightest and most depressing details., Dark, beautifully wry, and side-splittingly excruciating, The Adulterants is a triumph of voice and vision., The Adulterants is a richly illuminating comedy of disappointment, uproarious and mournful, that places Joe Dunthorne triumphantly in the tradition of Evelyn Waugh and (that other Swansea resident) Kingsley Amis. A deft, brilliant, surprising joyride., Darkly funny, Ray's story embodies the modern failure-to-launch affliction, the problems of an adult who will not grow up. . . . Dunthorne's conversational style is the perfect tone for delivering this late coming-of-age story with humor., Blisteringly funny and brimming with caustic charm--a joyous diagnosis of our modern ills that made me laugh out loud even when it was breaking my heart., An underachieving techie living in east London is about to become the latest in a pedigree line of comic English anti-heroes such as John Self from Martin Amis's Money and Rob Fleming in Nick Hornby's High Fidelity.

I expected a white hair dryer. This one is black. It should have been the color shown in the offering. And the package was so torn and broken that it looked like it had been through a lot of trouble. Not happy at all!!!!!!
