“I Wish, Therefore I Am is highly readable and just plain fun—an amusement park adventure with every turn of the page.”—Jonathan Shaw ""Anything Gary Lippman writes is going to be infused with playful wit, topsy-turvy observations, and sublime streaks of imagination—but I Wish, Therefore I Am is exceptionally so."" —Eugene Hutz ""Gary Lippman's generously discursive multiverse of a novel tackles every sized question about luck, fate, and wishes. It's a panoramic ride through stories and confession, with side trips to Borges, Captain Beefheart, William Blake, and hilarious country-and-western song titles. With I Wish, Therefore I Am, Lippman has unleashed a liberating new genre."" —Joan Juliet Buck
