A short novel written entirely in the form of questions – the questions building to form a commentary on the mundane and ordinary trivialities that constitute the majority of our lives. Challenging? certainly, maddening? sometimes, hypnotic? absolutely and is the author a genius? that I will leave to you to find out.

'If Duchamp or maybe Magritte wrote a novel (and maybe they did. Did they?) it might look something like this remarkable little book of Padgett Powell's: immensely readable, ingenious, witty, and ultimately important-feeling in a way you can't quite describe but don't need to' - Richard Ford. Through a seemingly random but infinitely artful series of questions this small masterpiece mysteriously, elusively, hilariously, compellingly lights up life.
