Editorial Reviews
“The Thieves of Manhattan is a sly and cutting riff on the book-publishing world that is quite funny unless you happen to be an author, in which case the novel will make you consider a more sensible profession—like being a rodeo clown, for example, or a crab-fisherman in the Bering Sea.”
—Carl Hiaasen, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“An über-hip caper that pays homage to and skewers the state of publishing and flash-in-the-pan authors.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Wonderfully mischievous…As soulful and morally committed as it is funny and clever.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Hysterically funny…Langer has written an immensely clever novel, by turns tenderhearted and satirical—an affecting, altogether plausible portrait of one writer’s passage through good times and bad.”
—Chicago Tribune
“The Thieves of Manhattan may be to publishing what Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 was to the military.”
—Associated Press
“If you want to feel somewhat literary and very hip, try jumping on the speedy ride that is The Thieves of Manhattan. Novelist Adam Langer delivers plenty of cool in this satire of the New York literary scene in which aspiring writer Ian Minot is tempted – after observing the unearned success of others – into taking part in a literary scam. The question, however, becomes: Who is really scamming whom?”
—Christian Science Monitor
“Love and art merge with cheerful cynicism in Langer’s madcap skewering of New York’s personality-mad publishing industry.”
—Vogue
“A dizzyingly clever novel…Lots of fun.”
—Kirkus Reviews
