“Ivyland should be read by all who love the entropic, soulful hilarity of Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49.” —Matthew Gallaway
“Miles Klee’s fiction is not only devastatingly smart; it’s also ruthlessly hilarious. But I love it most for the manic comedy it manages to wring from despair: that’s a talent that’s likely to be more and more valuable in the coming years.” —Jim Shepard
“Apocalyptic, word-drunk, inventive, hilarious—and that doesn’t begin to cover Miles Klee’s exuberant first novel. His catastrophic caterpillars alone are worth the journey; both the vision and the language delight.” —Andrea Barrett
“The exquisitely talented Miles Klee’s Ivyland is a weird, sensitive, totally messed up and wonderful book.” —Choire Sicha
“Ivyland is a harsh, spastic novel about drug-addled misfits clawing their way through a wrecked future that feels disconcertingly familiar. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s also got evil caterpillars, flung jellyfish, great prose, new drugs, sharp jokes, a stolen ice cream truck and a miracle tree.” —Justin Taylor
