“Refreshingly bonkers” is what Kirkus had to say about What We Found in the Sofa and How It Saved the World. They also said it was droll. I’ve always wanted to write something droll, and I’m surprised by how consistently this blog misses the mark. Unfortunately, the full on-line review doesn’t become accessible to non-subscribers until June 21, when the book's target audience will be out celebrating the solstice by wrapping the laces of their gym sneakers around overhead power lines and they’ll have little or no time for reading literary critiques, but I can reveal that the review goes on to say “there is a realism at the core that readers will respond to,” unless I’m quoting from the review of a different book, which seems entirely possible, since the last word I’d ever expect to see connected to Sofa is “realism.” “Droll” is good, though.
…and leaves your mouth sparkling clean! Unless I’m thinking of something else.
