Reception

edit

The novel received generally favorable reviews. Joseph Salvatore in The New York Times wrote, "Duchovny hits an unexpected home run."[3] Micah Pollac, in The Washington Post, noted, "Duchovny's tone makes the ride a pleasure. He dips into the waters of love, death, fatherhood, marriage and sex, but he doesn't go too deep. You enjoy the swim without becoming a prune."[4]
