Reviews"This is an exhilarating rollercoaster ride of a novel--a breathless and vivid journey into the lives of a motley assortment of brilliant, obsessive, and often troubled young immigrants, and an American whom one of them marries. With its themes of displacement, its Boston-area setting, and its ease with academic topics, Shafak's novel suggests Jhumpa Lahiri'sThe Namesakewith the amplifier cranked up all the way to eleven. A work replete with dazzling wordplay, an infatuation with pop culture, and a fearless intellect,The Saint of Incipient Insanitiesmarks Elif Shafak as a compellingly original voice in 21st Century fiction." --Adam Langer, author ofCrossing California "Elif Shafak offers us an indelibly haunting portrait of contemporary America, in all its sexual/ethno/religious contortions. Goofy, sad, wise, and heart-breakingly funny, her novel is a bittersweet delight to read." --Fernanda Eberstadt, "This is an exhilarating rollercoaster ride of a novel--a breathless and vivid journey into the lives of a motley assortment of brilliant, obsessive, and often troubled young immigrants, and an American whom one of them marries.
