Madness is Better Than Defeat by Ned Beauman

Madness is Better Than Defeat by Ned Beauman

" You close a Ned Beauman novel and you think to yourself "What the hell did I just read?!" But I mean that in the best possible way!  This novel is Beauman's best, most accomplished, smartest, and funniest and it includes all his signatures:  An impossibly complex and goofy plot, digressions galore, and jokes that take an entire page to set up. Yes, Beauman is a bit of an acquired taste.  But if you 're willing to take a chance, you'll be immensely entertained. "  - Recommended by Greg
