Reviews

Praise for The Garden of Lost and Found

"A peculiar, hallucinatory novel . . .violently emotional, frequently unhinged, always interesting."
EDGE Media

A strange and wonderful novel [by] a strange and wonderful novelist.
Joseph O'Neill, author of Netherland

[Peck] tells the quintessential New York story with his delicious style and piercing ability to move.
Martha McPhee, author of Gorgeous Lies

[Peck is a] brilliant writer, and this perplexing, beguiling, pre-and-post 9/11 Manhattan-set fable could have come from no one else.
Booklist

Peck delivers a novel that explores family, sexuality, AIDS, and the resiliency of the city, and he does it without kowtowing to the populist sentiment that a character ought to be likable: this one certainly isn't . . . In typical fashion, Peck spares no punches.
