“Outlandish, fueled by rage, very much like a brilliant comic stand-up routine... a comic novel of ideas.” ―The New York Times Book Review
“Anyone who appreciates strong, clever writing will find much to enjoy [in Zoo Time]. [Jacobson] is a confident, gifted writer who can make points with panache.” ―Houston Chronicle
“Funny and elegiac at once.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Howard Jacobson's prose is hilarious...this literary novel about the death of the literary novel sounds comedy's depths of sorrow.” ―Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Just because most of us don’t fantasize continuously about ditching our wives for our mothers-in-law doesn’t mean it’s not an excellent premise for a novel. ...entertaining ― and biting ― to the final twist.” ―The Forward
“[A]wickedly funny satire of publishing...It is always a joy to read Jacobson's prose, whose beguilingly casual tone belies its meticulous construction. This newest work confirms yet again his singular ability to weave comedy, sex, ideas, and deep insight into irresistible storytelling.” ―Jewish Book World
