A moving and brilliantly-executed puzzle of a novel. <br>--Emily St. JohnMandel, author of The Lola Quartet <br> Ferrell makes a strong case to be the Kurt Vonnegut of his generation.

Club <br> Ferrell's novel satisfies as both a tale of a four-dimensional conspiracy and as a stark meditation on solitude. <br>-- Minneapolis Star-Tribune <br> Man in the Empty Suit has a clever enough premise that it could be straight out of a Philip K. Dick or Kurt Vonnegut novel. <br>--The Pittsburgh Post-G
