Praise for De Vries, Reuben, Reuben

“Peter De Vries’s new novel, ‘Reuben Reuben’, is his longest, his most ambitious, and his best.”

New York Times

“[De Vries’s] plots are twisting and ingenious, and he is even funnier in phrasing that twists and shapes a scene.”

Commentary

“There is something wrong with the world, and this man . . . knows. He expresses his knowledge not by caterwauling but through farce, parody, language-play, and a kind of commedia dell’arte manipulation of absurd characters and situations.”

CLIFTON FADIMAN

“Peter De Vries is a master humorist and literary stylist . . . a vividly articulate master of our contemporary revels and a court jester to our follies.”

MILES SMITH, ASSOCIATED PRESS

“Of the few genuinely funny writers at work in America today, Peter De Vries is the most prolific and the best prose stylist.”
