the epiphany machine by david burr gerrard

Go ahead, open it, get your tattoo.' - Alexander Weinstein, author of Children of the New World With equal parts satire, mystery, and vaudevillian comedy, David Burr Gerrard has written a masterpiece. 'If I'd used the Epiphany Machine before reading this book, I would've received the following prophecy: ABOUT TO FALL IN LOVE.

Throw David Foster Wallace, Kurt Vonnegut, and David Mitchell in a blender and you will have something of a taste of the blood and guts of his work, and then drink deep!” -Scott Cheshire, author of High as the Horses’ Bridles

The Epiphany Machine is a darkly funny page-turner about whether we can ever know who we really are, and how it feels to be told who we are. But I cannot, as this would be bad for the world. “David Burr Gerrard is a writer of such tremendous audacity, intelligence, wit, and compassion that I want to keep him all to myself. A deeply compelling read by a terrific young writer.” -Ben Marcus, author of The Flame Alphabet “With The Epiphany Machine, David Burr Gerrard has masterfully channeled Kafka and written an engrossing and inventive mystery. An extraordinary book, full of wisdom and surprise, ingenious and original.” -Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves Praise for The Epiphany Machine 'Hilarious.a razor-sharp alternate history.' - T he Washington Post 'A wildly charming, morally serious bildungsroman with the rare potential to change the way readers think.' - Publishers Weekly, starred review
