Trance: A Novel

"Sorrentino's vision here is kaleidoscopic, eliding fluidly from individual to individual, taking on a wide array of points of view."--David L. Ulin, Newsday "Trance is a work of startling insight, marvelously and masterfully evoking the grim stuff of true American nightmares."--Colson Whitehead, author of John Henry Days "This sprawling work is so ambitious and irreverent that it doesn't fit easily into any genre. . . . Full of descriptions sublime in their precision . . . Trance is a pleasure to read--delightful and often funny."--Los Angeles Times "Sorrentino has something of Don DeLillo's ear for American white noise--for the hiss and crackle that fills the country's derelict spaces."--The New York Times Book Review "[Sorrentino] remains a virtuoso, and much of the success of this book is due to his writing skill. . . . [He] is an insightful, sensitive writer who makes you believe you're seeing what he's describing."--Harvey Pekar, The Baltimore Sun "Big and ambitious . . . It's method and scope are breathtaking."--Salon.com "Trance doggedly dismantles the pedestal of celebrity and myth."--The Village Voice
