Endorsements

"Ireland masterfully crisscrosses the public with the private to wring meaning from the simplest exchanges. . . . Chatter is a consoling and hopeful novel in its vision of man's compassionate, resilient nature."—Christine Schutt, author of NBA finalist Florida

"An extremely well-written novel that conceals its profundities so deftly that they insist on returning long after you have finished reading. A wonderful book."—Brian O'Doherty, Booker Prize finalist for The Deposition of Father McGreevy

"Smartly plotted and stylishly paced, Perrin Ireland's Chatter shows us just how the domestic and the political are entangled. The novel is alert with suspicion and heightened surmise; it gives us a bright Doppler reading of the way we live now."—Sven Birkerts
