“Elect Mr. Robinson for a Better World — the first of a trilogy that also includes The Hundred Brothers and The Verificationist – hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks. In this grim and comic novel, the titular Robinson, an educator and pillar of his Florida community, narrates his descent into a madness even nastier than the one gripping his compatriots.”
Our own Lydia Kiesling, on Donald Antrim, genius, and the joy of discovery.
Has anyone actually read Donald Antrim as a result of my incessant Tumblring about him? What’d you think? Also, read this book. NOW.
