Why read it?
1 author picked Await Your Reply as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love an intricate plot. But sometimes you want some real literary heft to go along with it. In which case, you can’t do better than anything by Dan Chaon.

From Jan-Andrew's list on absolutely crazy plots.
