'A well-drawn world and characters in a completely original and
unpredictable setting... I don't know a more enjoyable or
intelligent writer of his kind.'-Michael Moorcock
'[A] Sliding Doors-esque literary fantasy... Mr.
Breakfast is an absorbing study of what really matters in
life.' - SciFiNow
"Few recent works of fiction in any genre have touched on the
vagaries of life, love, and art more movingly or with deeper
understanding. An intoxicating, deeply affecting novel by the
influential fantasist." - Kirkus, STARRED review
"A compulsively readable, introspective tale about the road not
taken... At its heart, this is an arresting and imaginative
meditation on life. Perfect for fans of magical realism with a
free-flowing style like that of David Mitchell and Toshikazu
Kawaguchi." - Library Journal
"Both wistfully melancholy and downright joyous." -- Locus
Magazine
"As always with the exceptionally imaginative Carroll, he creates
complex worlds for his hero to inhabit and with clever crossovers
between realms that are carefully thought out and fun to explore.
Carroll's attention to details is impressive, and the unexpected
prevails." - Booklist
"This is both a characteristic book-a part of the Carroll
mosaic-and a unique one. I love the refractions as early scenes are
reconsidered in light of later ones. I slowed down in the last
third, to savor the gorgeous intricacies. I love the humor-the sly
humor, and the dumb jokes and the surreally-simple/simply-surreal
word combinations that are always Jonathan Carroll's
signature." - Jonathan Lethem, author of the New York
Times-bestselling Motherless Brooklyn
"A beautiful, brilliant meditation on art, love, inspiration and
what makes life worthwhile." - Neil Gaiman
"Like Murakami, Brian Eno, or David Lynch, Jonathan Carroll is
entirely sui generis, someone whose work is so fresh, weird, and
original, it stands in a class of its own. Maybe the most striking
thing about this lean, remarkable novel is Carroll's caffeinated
curiosity about everything, his roving eye for everyday wonders,
for the effervescent in the banal. Mr. Breakfast is a small book of
big ideas, a set of Russian nesting dolls with an entire universe
glowing at the center." -Joe Hill, bestselling author of
Heart-Shaped Box
"Reading Jonathan Carroll, one thinks of a blind person stroking a
drugged tiger-an experience that is sensuous, dreamy, and dangerous
all at once. And then, of course, the tiger wakes up." - Bruce
Wagner, author of Dead Stars
