"Immobility's bleak landscape and doubting yet relentless protagonist display Brian Evenson, one of our best and bravest novelists, at his most probing and mordant. The book might almost be the product of a collaboration between the younger Samuel Beckett and the mid-career Buster Keaton. No one else in America is writing like this, and no one but he possesses Evenson's ravishing, diamond-like focus." --Peter Straub, New York Times bestselling author of A Dark Matter "Evenson is stunning, a postapocalyptic Dashiell Hammett, in this blistering tale. I read Immobility from cover to cover without stirring from my chair, and I imagine most readers will share that fate." --Jesse Ball, Plimpton Prize-winning author of The Curfew "Brian Evenson is one of the treasures of American story writing." --Jonathan Lethem, New York Times bestselling author of Chronic City "There is not a more intense, prolific or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson." --George Saunders, New York Times bestselling author of The Braindead Megaphone "Brian Evenson is one of the most distinguished, probing, and courageous writers of his generation." --Bradford Morrow, O. Henry Prize-winning author of Diviner's Tale
