“A masterfully ambiguous depiction of how the sincere convert is often at risk of becoming a dangerous zealot…Dartmouth Park provides a powerfully evocative catalyst for thought and feeling.” —New York Times Book Review
“I devoured Dartmouth Park in a single sitting. The sense of dislocation—and location—made it seem like a dream of another life, all of it so lyrical and yet narratively acute. A wonderful achievement.” —Jonathan Lethem, award-winning author of The Feral Detective and Motherless Brooklyn
“A novel that turns a midlife crisis inside out, rewardingly…the result, in Thomson’s expert hands, is fast-paced and headlong; the book ends up rewiring the reader’s sense of what’s banal and what’s not. A work about estrangement and solitude that’s surprisingly rapid, engaging, light-footed.” —Kirkus Reviews
