Advance Praise
"Waiting for the Man is a strangely engrossing, meticulously written allegory of the present moment." — Douglas Coupland, author of Generation X and Worst. Person. Ever.
"With Waiting for the Man, Twitter phenom Arjun Basu breaks free of the 140-character box to pen a novel full of yearning, soulfulness, cool wit, and precise social commentary. It's the expansive work that the Twitter faithful have been waiting for. And their man delivers." — Jonathan Goldstein, host of CBC Radio's WireTap and author of I'll Seize the Day Tomorrow"Arjun Basu is a master of writing tiny narrative jewels, with surprises built into every single sentence. Waiting for the Man is, somehow, a whole novel full of such surprising and perfect delights." — Stephen Marche, author of Love and the Mess We're In and Raymond + Hannah
"For a novel in part about the cynicism of marketing, this would be hard to pitch in an elevator. How do you ask someone to imagine Waiting for Godot written by an internet-addicted Joseph Heller — or, even less likely, a warm-hearted Bret Easton Ellis? This book is wonderfully hard to pin down. You'll just have to read it for yourself." -Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall, author of Down to This and Ghosted
