Quirky, surreal, completely unbelievable, yet sweet love story/stories and fantastical natural disasters. Who wouldn't love a novel by an author one has never heard about, yet writes endearing, crazy, wildly unpredictably funny scenes. Much of the book's content is a stream-of-conscience inner dialog of the protagonist, as he meanders through his life. There are a few readers with my same sense of humor for the absurd who will love this story.

An odd little book, but funny and unpredictable. Krusoe's narrator's voice is charming and matter-of-fact, and the novel captures a quiet sense of melancholy that rings true.

A recommended effort, especially as it accomplishes these feats in only 182 pages, thoroughly avoiding the modern American novel's usual bloat.

(And can I also just say how much I love Dalkey Archive Press, and the quality of its books, and the quirkiness of its catalog? Lovely. This edition is particularly nice, with an elegant font and slightly cream-toned pages.)… (mere)

Toward You completes Krusoe’s trilogy about resurrection. In this tale Bob is trying to build a machine to enable him to communicate with the dead. When his ex-girlfriend’s daughter dies from rabies, finishing the Communicator becomes his foremost task.

I am a big fan of Jim Krusoe's books. This is interesting, and builds nicely at the end, but I wouldn't start with this one. Any of the books of the thematic triology which proceed this would do to begin with (Girl Factory, Erased, Toward You). I suppose Toward You is my favorite.
