“A nutty, likable romp [that] quickly takes on a deeper resonance
that is certain to please readers . . . quite moving.”—Washington
Post
“[Jim Lehrer’s] sly, winsome, and crafty stories always celebrate
the ordinary, confront some elemental issue of being human . . .
and give us characters whose essential decency stays with the
reader. . . . Eureka does all of those things. In fact, it may be
Lehrer’s best novel yet.”—Booklist, starred review
“Calamity gives way to poignancy in this consistently fun story
buoyed by an endearing protagonist readers will cheer
for.”—Publishers Weekly
“Crisply executed . . . Irony seldom drips with such humor and
grace.”—Texas Monthly
