At last a new book: a bakers dozen of stories all with Helen DeWitts razorsharp geniusFinalist for the Saroyan Prize for FictionNPR Best Book of the YearNew York Public Library's Best Books for Adults For sheer unpredictable brilliance, Gogol may come to mind, but no author alive today takes a reader as far as Helen DeWitt into the funniest, most yonder dimensions of possibility. Her jumpingoff points might be statistics, romance, the art worlds piranha tank, games of chance and games of skill, the travails of publishing, or success. Look, a character begins to explain, laying out some gambit reasonably enough, even if facing a world of boomeranging counterfactuals, situations spinning out to their utmost logical extremes, and Rube Goldberglike moving parts, where things prove more complicated than they had first appeared and at 3 a.m. the circumstances seem to attenuate. In various ways, each tale carries DeWitts signature pokerface lament regarding the nearimpossibility of the life of the mind when one is made to pay to have the time for it, in a world so sadly taken up with all sorts of paraphernalia superfluous, not to say impedimental, to ratiocination.
