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.
A lot of books witter on about the nature of self and identity. This one actually nails it. The characterizations and descriptions are superb. Best of all, it’s a sublimely written triple mystery, whose disparate strands finally lock in a devastating fashion.
From Jan-Andrew's list on absolutely crazy plots.
