"Outstanding * The Wall Street Journal * Razor sharp . . . bracingly clever . . . a viciously funny page-turner with plenty of surprises up its sleeve * Vogue * A gleefully irreverent satire of so-called cancel culture, virtue signaling, and early-21st-century hypocrisy. * The Atlantic * Witty and provocative . . . Taranto understands the appeal of bad-man geniuses, and he understands their dangers, too. -- <i>Vox</i>, 'Best Books of 2023' Very funny. Very good -- B.J. Novak With How I Won A Nobel Prize Julius Taranto achieves the near-impossible: a literary comedy about cancel culture that is neither priggish nor self-satisfiedly transgressive, less about culture wars than the neverending battle of being human. A novel of ideas in the tradition of Norman Rush's Mating, How I Won A Nobel Prize is one of the best new novels I've read in years. -- Tara Isabella Burton, author of <i>Social Creature</i> A wildly original debut . . . Can a high-powered male lawyer write a propulsive, smart, funny novel about science, cancel culture, and #MeToo with a female protagonist? Absolutely. It’s exactly what Julius Taranto has done in his debut, How I Won A Nobel Prize. * Publishers Weekly * A high-wire act, balancing savvy political satire with brilliant character development and prose that sings and guffaws with nuance * Shelf Awareness * Julius Taranto does an incredible job crafting an ambitious and nuanced narrative abut ""cancel culture"" that'll keep you laughing from start to finish. * Coveteur *"
