Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen: Adam O Fallon Price has a beautiful eye for detail, a deep grasp on people, and an enviable sense for where things go most entertainingly wrong. I haven t read a novel that s this funny and this sad in a very long time.
Tom Bissell, author of "Apostle "and "God Lives in St. Petersburg"
As shrewd as it is hilarious, "The Grand Tour "offers the reader something to wince and laugh at in nearly every sculpted sentence. This is a triumphant debut, rich in pointed, poignant truths about books, America and men.
Wells Tower, author of "Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned"
" The Grand Tour" is a beautifully written, darkly funny, and ultimately very moving novel about a road trip undertaken by two misfits, who end up much the better for their unlikely friendship in unexpected ways. Adam O Fallon Price deftly evokes the tender underbelly of cynicism, the despair and fear in misanthropy, and the fall into failure that lurks under success. A darker, tenderer, more twisted version of "Wonder Boys."
Kate Christensen
Like the best works of comic fiction, "The Grand Tour" is suffused with hilarious sadness. This is a literary road trip like no other. A terrific book.
Julie Schumacher, author of "Dear Committee Members"
"
""The Grand Tour"gives the genre of the road novel a delightfully literary twist. The road trip is, in fact, part of a book tour taken by an old, jaded literary novelist and his biggest fan, a shy and endearing college student. A perfect book to take on your summer travels."
"The Masters Review"
"Price offers up an acridly witty portrait of the artist in decline. We meet his protagonist, writer Richard Lazar, as he's shaken awake from an Ambien-and-vodka-induced coma aboard an airplane...From here, the novel becomes a road comedy of sorts, interspersed with excerpts from Lazar's novel, the core of which turns out to be as counterfeit as its creator. Price is a finely trained writer, and the novel recalls the late John O'Brien's" Leaving Las Vegas" in many respects."

"
"Price, meanwhile, is a witty and mordant writer with substantial largeness of heart. He's akin to Frederick Exley or a more breezy Malcolm Lowry... [The Grand Tour] is one of the most believable American novels of the past few years, a kind of On the Road for the lumpenproletariat."
