The Great Perhaps - Rilegato

A breakout new novel from the critically acclaimed novelist and playwright Joe Meno, author of Hairstyles of the Damned.

Praise for The Great Perhaps . . .

“The Great Perhaps is a darkly funny, lyrical, and shrewdly observant chronicle of a family on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Joe Meno has the rare ability to evoke midlife melancholy and teenage angst with equal authority.”—Tom Perrotta, author of Election and The Abstinence Teacher

“I think The Great Perhaps is the wisest, most humane and transcendent novel on the contemporary family since The Corrections. A marvelous book.”—Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting and Crime

. . . and for Joe Meno

“Joe Meno is an interesting case: a punk/noir stylist who can imitate something more rarefied, poetic, and universal.”—Elle

“Meno is the closest thing [Chicago’s] got to a literary ambassador.”—GQ

“What to make of Joe Meno, whose icepick-sharp books include many elements that might reasonably be described as quirky, but are rather heartfelt, beautifully written and vivid as a bad dream—or a very, very good one?”—Washington Post Express
