Praise
“The final volume in Iyer’s gloomily brilliant trilogy about a toxic friendship between unfortunate philosophy dons, boozing and bitching in the great tradition of Beckett’s double acts.” — The Guardian
“The humor cuts broad and deep.” — LA Review of Books
“Exodus, which follows Spurious and Dogma, is the eminently satisfying and unexpectedly moving final installment in a truly original trilogy about two wandering British intellectuals —Lars and W., not to be confused with Lars Iyer and his real friend W., whom he’s been quoting for years on his blog — and their endless search for meaning in a random universe, for true originality of thought, for a leader, for better gin.” — The Millions’ most anticipated books of 2013
“The hilarious despair of his first two novels, Spurious and Dogma, seems to have touched a chord, each receiving near unanimous acclaim … The comedy is a little blacker this time around, and the black a little funnier still.” —Totally Dublin
Praise for Lars Iyer’s Spurious and Dogma
“It’s wonderful. I’d recommend the book for its insults alone.” —Sam Jordison, The Guardian
“Uproarious.” —New York Times Book Review
“I’m still laughing, and it’s days later.” —The Los Angeles Times
“Fearsomely funny.” —The Washington Post
“Viciously funny.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“A tiny marvel. . . . [A] wonderfully monstrous creation.” —Steven Poole, The Guardian
“This novel has a seductive way of always doubling back on itself, scorching the earth but extracting its own strange brand of laughter from its commitment to despair.” —The Believer
