Welcome to Litsy!

Not the best book I‘ve read but still funny and a quick read. Hard to care when Zink makes the characters so unlikable, flawed and morally ambiguous. But the metaphors of marriage and the eco-terrorism twist made it absurd enough to have some enjoyment

Maybe I have read too many books on marriages and adultery lately, in any case I was not a bit interested in the loveless relationship of two young Americans living in Switzerland. They both go their own way and talk about birds and electronic music. That is, until I decided I didn‘t care for them at all and got rid of the book.

#Thehoneymoonisover for Tiff and Stephen following their miscarriage. The couple's subsequent flight from the U.S to Berne mirrors the flight of the injured Wallcreeper, a fleeing from captivity into the wilderness beyond.
The Wallcreeper is a funny little novel. Not the greatest but an interesting short read.

Described as hilarious and intelligent, I guess I was struggling to find the humor of a woman almost bleeding to death from a miscarriage after a car accident caused by a birdseeking husband. So funny? Not to anyone who has ever had one.

Ignore the hamsters.

Casually original and razor-sharp voice driven. Many times I laughed out loud in public. I even prefer this to Zink's novel Mislaid, as this ends as strong as it opens.

one of the weirdest books I've read this year. i found the characters universally unlikeable, although they seem to do a lot of the right things... for very selfish reasons. Still, it's occasionally very funny and truthful

These are a few of my favorite things. Loved Mislaid and currently on Wallcreeper. Nell Zink has such a great, funny writing style. I can't get enough of it.

Chris @DieselBookstore in Oakland is excited to share that Nell Zink is coming October 12th! The book blurb says Zink is "a writer of extraordinary talent and range." I'm sold. I bought it!

There was humor and general weirdness/quirks to the characters. I liked the first half of the the book (Berne) but once they get to Berlin I thought it got kind of flat. I'll read her other work but it was somewhat reminiscent of Miranda July but without quite the quality I found so enjoyable in July's stories.

Holy cow was this book hilarious. I picked this up on the recommendation from a friend of a friend, and I'm so glad I did. Lots of dark humor and a few dashes of cynicism make up the funniest book I've read in months.

It's been a long time since I've been so simultaneously enamored with and demoralized by the intelligence and candor of a narrator's voice. I'm looking forward to reading every word Nell Zink writes.

Stephen possesses the indefinable divine spark that arises from friction between an infinitely complex universe and the unfathomable enigma of subjectivity. (Later on the same page) There's more real art going on in one square inch of Midwest than in all of New York City.
