"An extraordinary, often hilarious novel."
–The New York Times Book Review "From the very start, Lorrie Moore's generous gifts as a writer have been clear: A wry, distinctive voice, a gift for telling detail."
–The New York Times "
Anagrams has all the wit and inveigling playfulness of
Self-Help, plus an organic sophistication astounding in a first novel."
–The Philadelphia Inquirer "A rare novel. . . . Its surface sparkles with wit and humor, but underneath there's a keen intelligence at work, a seriousness of purpose that's deeply touching. Read
Anagrams. It will bowl you over."
–The Plain Dealer
