Reviews for the last book we featured in our Rumpus Book Club!

By

Are you a part of the Rumpus book club? Remember last month’s book, Christopher Boucher’s debut novel How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive?

Well, it‘s starting to get great reviews out there.  This post on The Millions has referred to the novel as “a surrealist’s guide” full of strange, dazzling, yet heartwarming prose that seems to pleasantly surprise many readers who were initially skeptical of the novel’s surrealist bent.

So back to my first question: if  you are indeed a part of the Rumpus book club, you rock! If you are not, you should seriously consider joining: you don’t want to miss out on any more previews of  beautiful surrealist literature now, do you?
