Delighted to include this title in the June edition of Novel Encounters, my regular column highlighting the month’s most anticipated fiction for the Books section of Zoomer, Canada’s national culture magazine. (see column and mini-review at link)

I really do not feel at all smart enough to be giving an opinion on a book written by Lorrie Moore. She is just genius. This story is so crazy, but you just fall into it and the dialogue between Finn and Lily is the best I have ever read. I wouldn't know where to begin describing the story and form, both so original. I can tell you this book will stay with me .

I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home has an absurdist, ironic tone, and although it appears to deal with all the big questions about life and death and love and loss, it ultimately stresses the unknowability of it all: there is nothing knowable about reality, certainly nothing knowable about history, and as we all stumble towards death, life itself might be a bigger mystery than what comes after. Lorrie Moore’s sentences are delightful, her plot is strange and compelling — much like life itself — and I loved every bit of this funny, tragic, touching, and true novel.
