Reviews
Speedboat captivates by its jagged and frenetic changes of pitch and tone and voice. Adler confides, reflects, tells a story, aphorizes, undercuts the aphorism, then undercuts that. Ideas, experiences, and emotions are inseparable. I don't know what she'll say next. She tantalizes by being simultaneously daring and elusive., "Ms. Adler's writing has turned out to be prescient and quietly influential, and her debut novel cast a long shadow on what I consider to be the strongest works of fiction published this year. Speedboat does not prescribe to any novelistic convention--namely, plot (linear or not, it does not have one to speak of)--and yet it distills the novel to its most basic necessities. It is a series of disjointed paragraphs, each a kind of novel in itself, in which every sentence has the urgency of a mortal wound." --Michael Miller, The New York Observer "...Renata Adler's ahead-of-its-time novel Speedboat has gone from cult favorite to undisputed classic." -- The Fiction Advocate "This novel is a semi-plotless investigation of contemporary life, both actual and intellectual, in which every sentence gleams and winks and lifts boulders. It is vital and dazzling and will never, never go out of style." -- Flavorwire "Written before the ubiquity of writing workshops and the polished sameness that hovers over most of the polite novels published these days, these two books are triumphs now. They are evidence of what happens when messy life meets clean white page in exquisite prose and should be lingered over, not digested in gulps just to get to THE END." -- A.V. Club "Told by Jen Frain, a journalist, Speedboat is a fragmentary and frequently hilarious novel about what it was to be an urban American in the 1970s. Here we have a narrator whose "I" looks out, not in. Frain describes her friends and work so keenly that at times she is almost effaced from her own narrative. In the space opened up by this near absence, Adler achieves a prose that, despite the odd bum note, sounds disaffected and despondent and charismatic all at once. 'There doesn't seem to be a spirit of the times,' says Frain. But in Adler we sense the very crystallisation of one." -- The Irish Times "She is one of the most brilliant--that is, vivid, intense, astute, and penetrating--essayists in contemporary letters, and most contrarian: much of what you think she will passionately undo. And she is a novelist whose voice, even decades after her books were written, seems new and original, and, if you are a writer, one you wish were your own." --Michael Wolff, The Guardian "I think Speedboat will find a new generation of dazzled readers." --Katie Roiphe, Slate " Speedboat is as vital a document of the last half of the American century as Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The Death and Life of Great American Cities . Right down to its final, just-right sentence, it's--well, it will literally knock your socks off." --Michael Robbins, Chicago Tribune " Speedboat captivates by its jagged and frenetic changes of pitch and tone and voice. Adler confides, reflects, tells a story, aphorizes, undercuts the aphorism, then undercuts that. Ideas, experiences, and emotions are inseparable. I don't know what she'll say next. She tantalizes by being simultaneously daring and elusive." --David Shields, Reality Hunger "Nobody writes better prose than Renata Adler." --John Leonard, Vanity Fair "A brilliant series of glimpses into the special oddities and new terrors of contemporary life--abrupt, painful, and altogether splendid." --Donald Barthelme "When Speedboat burst on the scene in the late '70s it was like nothing readers had encountered before. It seemed to disregard the rules of the novel, but it wore its unconventionality with ease. Reading it was a pleasure of a new, unexpected kind. Above all, there was its voice, ambivalent, curious, wry.... A touchstone over the years for writers." -- Bookforum for The Oyster Review, "It is perhaps the best portrait we have of contemporary urban life among the intellectual gentry." The Los Angeles Times "Elegant, funny, vivid, brilliant, luminous, exquisite!" The New York Times Book Review "Nobody in this country writes better than Renata Adler. She is Lillian Hellman, young again; Joan Didion with a tendency to gigg≤ Albert Camus on one of his sunny days... Speedboat is superb." Harper's "WONDERFUL, FUNNY, COURAGEOUS, HAUNTING…BUY, READ!" Village Voice, "She is one of the most brilliant-that is, vivid, intense, astute, and penetrating-essayists in contemporary letters, and most contrarian: much of what you think she will passionately undo. And she is a novelist whose voice, even decades after her books were written, seems new and original, and, if you are a writer, one you wish were your own." -Michael Wolff, The Guardian "I think Speedboat will find a new generation of dazzled readers." -Katie Roiphe, Slate " Speedboat is as vital a document of the last half of the American century as Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The Death and Life of Great American Cities . Right down to its final, just-right sentence, it's-well, it will literally knock your socks off." -Michael Robbins, Chicago Tribune "Nobody writes better prose than Renata Adler." -John Leonard, Vanity Fair "A brilliant series of glimpses into the special oddities and new terrors of contemporary life-abrupt, painful, and altogether splendid." -Donald Barthelme " Speedboat captivates by its jagged and frenetic changes of pitch and tone and voice.

And she is a novelist whose voice, even decades after her books were written, seems new and original, and, if you are a writer, one you wish were your own." --Michael Wolff, The Guardian "I think Speedboat will find a new generation of dazzled readers." --Katie Roiphe, Slate " Speedboat is as vital a document of the last half of the American century as Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The Death and Life of Great American Cities .

"Speedboat" is one of the more penetrating and oddly hypnotizing books I know; reading it is like being in a snowstorm.. ...If all you get from "Speedboat" and "Pitch Dark" is a shudder of pleasure and self-recognition, you are probably not reading deeply enough. Welcome Back, Renata Adler', "Nobody writes better prose than Renata Adler." -John Leonard, Vanity Fair "A brilliant series of glimpses into the special oddities and new terrors of contemporary life-abrupt, painful, and altogether splendid." -Donald Barthelme " Speedboat captivates by its jagged and frenetic changes of pitch and tone and voice.

She tantalizes by being simultaneously daring and elusive." -David Shields, Reality Hunger, Speedboat is dazzling ...line for line and sentence for sentence, it seems to me thrilling. ... observant, funny, urbane. ... What is it is a war novel. ... after all - a narrative like any other. It will or it won't "come out." The way it eventually does, in a chaos of spies and hostages, is satisfying, even if it isnt optimistic. ..., Speedboat is as vital a document of the last half of the American century as Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Right down to its final, just-right sentence, it's-well, it will literally knock your socks off.
