...landed on him like a house after a tornado, and he?s obsessed with spilling his seed in all the wrong places. This catalog of deceits and embarrassments may not sound particularly hilarious, but, trust me, it is. Baumbach?s sympathy for the all-too-human spectacle of lust pratfalling over itself makes the film as funny as it is painful.

This exquisite poetry remains miraculously untainted by the surrounding grimy carnival of lust, corruption, and absurdity. Christopher Unborn anticipates a reader versed in the “Western canon” who will appreciate the novel’s continuous literary allusions and the periodic surfacings of a meta-textual subplot about authors and readers. It is an anarchic zoo of people, events...
