[Crudo is] about the longing to escape our ossified selves--to become, if only for a moment or within the pages of a novel, someone wilder and more radically free. And in staging that longing so directly and so honestly, Olivia Laing makes Crudo>/em> her own., Crudo seduces from the very first sentence. Laing as Acker is not a literary device--it is literary detonation.... Crudo is a hot, hot book., Laing's experiment, and it's a good one, is to describe the world--her world, between May 17 and September 23, 2017--as precisely as she can.... [Crudo is] a short, entirely readable, and lovably eccentric book., A single moment in modernity, deconstructed by the savagely entertaining, Acker-inspired voice of Laing., Breathless and gripping.... [Crudo] traps the first summer of Trump and Brexit like a fly in amber.... As a record, Crudo is perfect, and agonizing., Crudo could turn out to be a novel that we pick up years from now to remind ourselves how these times felt... Love may not be original, but this funny, fervent novel is. --Alexandra Schwartz, The New Yorker Written with bristling intelligence... [ Crudo is] about the longing to escape our ossified selves--to become, if only for moment or within the pages of a novel, someone wilder and more radically free. And in staging that longing so directly and so honestly, Olivia Laing makes Crudo her own. --New York Times Book Review Like the foodstuff for which it is named, Olivia Laing's Crudo is weird, intense, served in a small portion, and totally delicious... Beautifully written and artfully focused. --Rebecca Mead, The New Yorker, "More Books We Loved in 2018" Breathless and gripping... [ Crudo ] traps the first summer of Trump and Brexit like a fly in amber. --NPR [A] pretzel twist of form and meaning... Laing strikes some terrific chords in this novel.--Dwight Garner, New York Times Crudo seduces from the very first sentence. Laing as Acker is not a literary device--it is literary detonation... Crudo is a hot, hot book. --Guardian [A] single moment in modernity, deconstructed by the savagely entertaining, Acker-inspired voice of Laing.--Paris Review Daily A narrative written with immense vitality and, miraculously, the lightest of touches... It's a subversive love story that shouldn't work, but does.--Deborah Levy, Wall Street Journal Laing's experiment, and it's a good one, is to describe the world--her world, between May 17 and September 23, 2017--as precisely as she can... [ Crudo is] a short, entirely readable, and lovably eccentric book. --Nick Hornby, The Believer Laing...dunks you into the narrative and its fast-moving waters. It's only once you get to the end that you realize you've been holding your breath.--Vanity Fair [ Crudo ] manages to capture the delirium and anxiety of carrying on through [this] turbulent period with searing clarity. --Time, Written with bristling intelligence, this debut novel... pays homage to the iconoclastic author Kathy Acker, creating a pastiche of voices and identities., Crudo could turn out to be a novel that we pick up years from now to remind ourselves how these times felt., I don't think I'll ever forget the day I spent reading Crudo. I couldn't put it down, and then it overwhelmed me so much I had to put it down, and then I had to pick it back up again. A beautiful, strange, intelligent novel.

Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

"Moneyball" is an old/new movie/DVD that I haven't seen. "Retrostar Music" as seller had some of Mr. Pitts movies & this was labelled "New", I decided to purchase it. The seller sent all I ordered with FREE shipping &discounted the price of all as well. It took less than a week - six days - for my complete order to arrive & they were all carefully packaged & arrived in two boxes. If I ever have a question regarding what else is in the seller's inventory, I always receive a very prompt reply.
