Udall observes with a keen eye for the ridiculous while showing compassion. Enthusiastically recommended.
--Library Journal, starred review
Funny and wise, The Lonely Polygamist stands with other great family novels such as The Corrections and Middlesex, and sets Udall on the top shelf of American writers.
--Hannah Tinti
This is big-hearted American storytelling, the best new book I’ve read in years.
—Bonnie Jo Campbell
The Lonely Polygamist is a heft, eager and bittersweet novel, and it is a page-turner. Read this remarkable novel, friend, live with it.
—John Dufresne
The Lonely Polygamist is both an astounding feat and a sumptuous feast. This is the Second Coming of the Great American Novel. Or is it the Third? Who’s counting? Read this brilliant book.”
— Rabih Alameddine, author of The Hakawati
Brady Udall’s The Lonely Polygamist is a highly original, brilliant novel from the first page on. It’s one of the best I’ve read.
— Sherri Gallantine, Vromans Bookstore (Pasadena, CA)
This novel is headed straight for the bestseller list, appealing not only to the “Big Love” crowd but to any reader who loves great characters, adroit prose and a plot that keeps you reading late into the night.”
— Gayle Shanks, Changing Hands Bookstore (Tempre, AZ)
The Lonely Polygamist reminds me of the best of John Irving. Funny, sometimes outrageously so, heartbreaking, redemptive, with characters so brilliantly conceived that they live on in my heart and mind.”
— Cathy Langer, The Tattered Cover (Denver, CO)
Every chapter (sometimes every paragraph) is a vignette, and each is by turns hilarious and moving. Truly, Brady Udall is our modern day Charles Dickens.”
— Anne Holman, The King’s English Bookshop (Salt Lake City, UT)
“By turns laugh out loud funny and hauntingly sad, this novel is a big, fat, satisfying read that will make you reconsider what it means to be a part of a family.
— Roberta Dyer, Broadway Books (Portland, OR)
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
