The Great Perhaps

Joe Meno

The Great Perhaps
The wisest, most humane and transcendent novel on the contemporary family since The Corrections
A big, generous-hearted American family novel . . . Meno's characters bristle with humanity, and I think this book will find a huge audience for its wisdom and life-affirming, but unsentimental, qualities
