"Fascinating.... A wonderful book." -President Obama, interviewed by Jon Meacham inNewsweek(May 25, 2009 issue) "Stunning . . . with echoes ofThe Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald's masterpiece . . . a resonant meditation on the American Dream." -Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times "Exquisitely written. . . . A large fictional achievement, and one of the most remarkable post-colonial books I have ever read. . . .Netherlandhas a deep human wisdom." -James Wood,The New Yorker "I devoured it in three thirsty gulps, gulps that satisfied a craving I didn't know I had. . . . It has more life inside it than ten very good novels." -Dwight Garner,The New York Times Book Review "Elegant.... Always sensitive and intelligent, Netherland tells the fragmented story of a man in exile-from home, family and, most poignantly, from himself." -Washington Post Book World "A wonderful read." -Jonathan Safran Foer "Haunting.... O'Neill's elegant prose makes for a striking read." -Entertainment Weekly "A beautifully written meditation on despair, loss, and exile." -USA Today "Remarkable.... Note-perfect." -Vogue "Outstanding.... A coming-of-middle-age tale." -Newsweek "O'Neill's writing is unendingly beautiful." -The Los Angeles Times "Brilliant.... A post9/11 novel that takes us closer to understanding the emotional wreckage." -GQ "Provocative, luminous.... A fine, darkly glowing novel." -The Boston Globe "A dense, intelligent novel... O'Neill offers an outsider's view of New York bursting with wisdom, authenticity, and a sobering jolt of realism." -Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "O'Neill writes a prose of Banvillean grace and beauty, shimmering with truthfulness, as poised as it is unsettling. He is a master of the long sentence, of the half-missed moment, of the strange archaeology of the troubled marriage. Many have tried to write a great American novel. Joseph O'Neill has succeeded." -Joseph O'Connor, author of Star of the Sea "Somewhere between the towns of Saul Bellow and Ian McEwan, O'Neill has pitched his miraculous tent. Netherland is a novel about provisionality, marginality; its registers are many, one of the most potent being its extremely grown-up nostalgia. The dominant sense is of aftermath, things flying off under the impulse of an unwanted explosion, and the human voice calling everything back." -Sebastian Barry, author of A Long Long Way, "Stunning . . . with echoes ofThe Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald's masterpiece . . . a resonant meditation on the American Dream." -Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times "Exquisitely written. . . . A large fictional achievement, and one of the most remarkable post-colonial books I have ever read. . . .Netherlandhas a deep human wisdom." -James Wood,The New Yorker "I devoured it in three thirsty gulps, gulps that satisfied a craving I didn't know I had. . . .

Joseph O'Neill has managed to paint the most famous city in the world, and the most familiar concept in the world (love) in an entirely new way" - Jonathan Safran Foer author of Everything is Illuminated "Haunting.... O'Neill's elegant prose makes for a striking read." -Entertainment Weekly "A beautifully written meditation on despair, loss, and exile." -USA Today "Remarkable....

Just as marriage, family, friendship and manhood are not. Netherlandis suspenseful, artful, psychologically pitch-perfect, and a wonderful read. But more than any of that, it's revelatory. Joseph O'Neill has managed to paint the most famous city in the world, and the most familiar concept in the world (love) in an entirely new way." --Jonathan Safran Foer, author ofEverything Is Illuminated "A dense, intelligent novel...
