title: Gob's Grief: A Novel
author:  Chris Adrian 
description: Impressive. So much more ambitious and profound than most contemporary American fiction. <i>The Washington Post<br /><br /></i>A masterpiece of retrospective mythology. Adrian hasnt just reimagined or reenacted this time of national crisis; hes managed to relive it through his characters.Walter Kirn, <i>GQ<br /><br /></i>Remarkable. Utterly different. A work unlike any that has come before it.<i>The Economist<br /><br /></i>Unlike many first time novelists, Adrian takes great risks here. He brings to life scores of historical figures, from Walt Whitman to Abe Lincoln, with a startling ease and grace. More remarkable, however, is his ability to inspire sympathy foreven faith inGobs mission. <i>Time Out New York<br /><br /></i>Remarkable . . . utterly different. A work unlike any that has come before it. <i>The Economist</i>
