Some more early praise for Jeff, One Lonely Guy: “OMG I love this!! It’s so Russian—very reminiscent of the Chekhov story “Complaint Book” (entries in a complaint book at the railway station).”—Elif Batuman, author of The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them

Early praise for Jeff, One Lonely Guy: “You can either make fun of Jeff, One Lonely Guy (it would be very easy to parody) and reject its self-help earnestness or you can respond as I did: transported by a healing work of art despite (or because of) the enormous amount of pain surging through it. The symphony of voices here is an overwhelming reading experience. This short book is also a verification of a legitimate new form of narrative; it’s the definitive document so far of where our medium is heading. I’ve never read anything like it.”—Bret Easton Ellis
