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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 430\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 x 8.75 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 12, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42134062563463,"sku":"9780393304565","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/ffe756dae713aa3c0eba3fe841be83bf.webp?v=1732638869","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/great-perhaps-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
