Wonderfully dreamlike and sharply, hilariously satirical . . . a truly remarkable and original creation. |

If Thomas Pynchon had suffered postpartum depression, he might have written a novel like Parallel Play. As Eve wanders through the first months of motherhood, her observations are hilarious, eerie, and unforgettable. This is a must-read for lovers of smart fiction and flummoxed mothers. |

It's high time we got a novel such as Parallel Play - one that portrays a young mother as neither the Virgin Mary nor as Mommie Dearest. Eve is fumbling, flawed, funny, and - above all - utterly human. Tom Rayfiel has dared to tell it like it is in this triumphant novel. |
