New York Times Notable Book of the Year
"Funny, enthralling, and uncommonly clever." "Henderson's demented comic, ribald foray into fiction and fact may
alter forever the way we perceive the delicate art of biography." "A hugely entertaining novel of what-ifs." "Complex, amusing and palpably symbolic." "A genuine rarity: a work of serious fiction that can entertain... This
masterful novel is strongly recommended." "A raucous tale of literary fear and loathing." "Henderson takes us on a strange, comical, and mysterious ride through
the center of make-believe... A grand farce." "A provocative, often hilarious look at celebrity and obsession, truth
and myth... The climax is simultaneously pulse-pounding and comic, the perfect finish for
this witty, inventive book." "At once side-splitting and insightful...Displays an impressive
firepowerof talent. It offers entertainment, intelligence, and an emotional aim that is
sharp and true." "A feast of moveable freaks, with the still-beating heart of
Hemingway's legend as its main course." "Funny as it can be, I Killed Hemingway is really about the terror of
wasting your life, cutting deals with devils and discovering that make-believe is still
the most authentic thing there is." "This believable and fantastic literary thriller--about myth, lost
reputations, celebrityhood, TV craziness, and pop psychology (not to speak of Papa, Ezra,
and Gertrude)--will hold you until the last gripping and very human page." |
