One of the Washington Post's 41 New Books to Read this FallGeorge is brimming with potential but incapable of following through; sweet yet noncommittal to his long-suffering girlfriend; distant from but still reliant on his mother; charming one minute, sullen the next. Despite his failings, it's hard not to root for George at least a little. Beneath his cynicism is a reservoir of fondness for his girlfriend, Jenny, and her valiant willingness to put up with him. Each demonstration of his flaws is paired with a self-eviscerating comment. No one is more disappointed in him than himself (except maybe Jenny and his mother). The Book of George is a deft, unexpectedly moving portrait of one man — but also countless others.

Greathead’s (Laura & Emma) latest, which follows the title character from childhood to middle age, is a warm-hearted and gently humorous examination of a chronic failure.

A mordantly wry examination of one disgruntled man’s life. . . . Greathead’s portrayal of an aggrieved white man struggling to find his place in the world is as much a portrait of an unsuccessful artist as a young man as it is a portrait of our times.”

Greathead is an excellent witness to her characters’ exceedingly human conditions and a deadpan comedian of manners, and The Book of George flows like an open tap.”
