Best Book of the Year,
The Cry of the Sloth
is a tragicomic, epistolary masterpiece chronicling everything Andrew Whittaker—literary journal editor, negligent landlord, and aspiring novelist—commits to paper over the course of four critical months. With this send-up of the literary life and the loneliness and madness that accompanies it, Sam Savage proves that all the evidence is in the writing.
