UP - Reviews

"One of the funniest books of the season, a hilarious outburst of wild comedy. . . . UP is the kind of book that any person in his right mind can enjoy."

-Saturday Review

"... the funniest, most successful, and most satisfying new book that I've read in a long time. . . ."

-The Nation

"... a compendium of sly jokes on literature . . . a panic of assorted delicacies. . . . He (Sukenick), or do I mean the character of the same name, is an urban, literary, Jewish Don Quixote of our time."

-The New York Times Book Review

"Beg it, buy it, borrow it or steal it. UP is the most serious and valid anatomy of our culture's ills this reviewer has encountered in the past year's reading."

-Minneapolis Tribune

"... captivating. . . . This former New York college teacher has that rare, run-naked psyche. . . . UP may be an important work of art."

-Book Week

". . . the virtuoso of the season, Ronald Sukenick, a young man who can do just about anything with words."

-Irving Howe in Harper's Magazine
