Witty and Warm LAMBDA Winner!

David Pratt's lovely wonderful book about the lives of books. The books are like pets with even less agency and yet carrying the wit, wisdom and personality of their subjects. Pratt plays with this idea well using it to gently parody some popular trends.

Bob the main character is immensely likable and I'm sure you will be as surprised as I was by how delighted and moved I was by the end of this first rate novel. It is wonderful!
