Q

"[A] delightful New York-infused novel .... A word to the tear prone: Don't attempt to read the ending in public." -- New York Times Book Review

"[A] deeply funny, seriously smart novel, at times both romantic and pragmatic. Fans of Mark Kurlansky and Matthew Norman will appreciate Mandery's eloquently witty authorial voice....Q is a remarkably refreshing work, full of energy and eminently absorbing." -- Booklist

"Q. is an amiably outrageous exploration of the sweetest sadnesses of life. A graceful, philosophical and gentle satirist, Mandery is a worthy son of those great writers of the 1970s, Vonnegut, Barthelme and Barth." -- Joseph Skibell, author of A Curable Romantic

"A philosophical, witty, wonderful and altogether magical love story. Existential questions have never been couched in a more tender way." -- M.J. Rose, author of The Hypnotist

"Q caught me by surprise; I've never read anything like it and enjoyed every minute of it! It is a smart, funny, book that surprised me all the way to the end. Mandery knots up history, philosophy, and love into Q, it's utterly original and totally unforgettable." -- Jessica Anya Blau
