Critical Praise

"The delights are many [in The Confessions of Max Tivoli], among them gossamer prose, vivid characterization, and historic snapshots of a fabulous American city. Old-fashioned narrative fun in a literary hall of mirrors."

——Kirkus Reviews

"Andrew Sean Greer is one of the most talented writers around, feeling and funny, with a genuinely fine prose style and a sensibility to match."

——Michael Chabon, author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay

"Every once in a great while, a truly original voice springs up, seemingly out of nowhere, and tells us a story unlike anything we've ever heard before. Andrew Sean Greer is a devastating new writer, and The Confessions of Max Tivoli marks the beginning of what I suspect will be a significant and lasting career."

——Michael Cunningham, award-winning author of The Hours
