Reviews
Not very far in the future, things are a lot like now only more so.... The walls of class do not fall, though, in this eccentric but worthy descendant of Huxley's fatally bittersweet Brave New World. (Booklist) The author's signature intelligence, at once quirky, mannered, uncanny, removed, and satiric, continues to manifest itself in spades.... IN & OZ bears a family resemblance to Orwell's Animal Farm in its political awareness and fabulist inclination, Barthelme's Dead Father in its stylized absurdity and abstract intellect, and Diderot's Rameau's Nephew in its fusion of cool aesthetic contemplation and fictive techniques. (American Book Review)
