The Ask by Sam Lipsyte.. Boils with black humor as it chronicles the slide from obscurity into whatever is lower down of an incompetent but ingenious university fundraiser on his way to delicious trouble. The decline and fall of Western Civilization is funny, after all. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"Lipsyte’s prose arrows fly with gloriously weird spin, tracing punch-drunk curlicues before hitting their marks—or landing in some weird alternate.." – The New York Review of Books "[The Ask] is a biting, bilious and often brilliant book." – The Plain Dealer |
