“Clarke’s disquieting, droll work reflects humanity like a dark fun house mirror.”
“[Clarke] creates books that taste like delicious cuts of absurdity marbled with erudition.”
“Clarke has a distinctively winning style. He imagines characters so careful in their reasoning that they are deeply, maddeningly unreasonable but also tenderly hapless at the same time. Mr. Clarke is able to make their isolation both heart-rending and comically absurd.”
“Clarke dazzles with a dizzying study in extremes, cruising at warp speed between bleak and optimistic, laugh-out-loud funny and unbearable sadness.”
“Clarke picks apart the fictions we tell one another—and those we tell ourselves.”
