One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories - Tapa blanda

Playful and inventive . . . One More Thing is a special read (Shortlist)

A teller of funny, skew-whiff tales . . . Novak has, like, totally been compared to David Sedaris and Woody Allen, which is insane but also kinda true (New Statesman)

Lively, sweet-natured . . . Novak is best when he reaches beyond a punchline.... My favourite piece, 'Dark Matter'. . . feels profound (Sunday Telegraph)

One More Thing is very funny . . . Novak adds emotional depth to some well-crafted, often explosive pay-offs (Financial Times)

Remarkably good. There's a wildly eclectic range on display, from personal meditations to flights of absurdist whimsy (Guardian)

Brilliant surreal stories, full of unexpected twists and turns (The List)

B.J. blew me away. He just keeps kicking short fiction in the rear, making it run ahead clutching its ass, and then he runs up and kicks it some more, and the result is one of the most aggressively, insanely awesome debuts in a while (Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story)

Everyone knew that B.J. Novak was smart and sexy, but funny, too!? Wow, screw that guy. I haven't laughed at words this hard since I read (Joshua Ferris author of The Unnamed and Then We Came to the End)

ONE MORE THING is a funny and inventive debut collection, infused with a deadpan absurdist wit reminiscent of Woody Allen and Ian Frazier. B.J. Novak's stories are sly and playful, but they can pack a real emotional wallop (Tom Perrotta, author of Nine Inches)

Dark and hilarious, like the fudge Grandma used to make during her 'special' period. Deliciously funny! (Jack Handey, author of Deep Thoughts and The Stench of Honolulu)
