"[Memorial] records a softening of mood and a growing curiosity
about other possibilities of being...one senses a moral
intelligence missing from much contemporary fiction that
aspires...to a Nabokovian poise and beauty." -- Pankaj Mishra, The
New York Times Book Review
"Memorial is an infinitely detailed, completely engrossing picture
of modern America." -- John Homans, New York Magazine
"[Wagner] creates a tender vision of modern life, one in which
preoccupations with popular culture are an imperfect carapace for
the vulnerable hearts underneath." -- The New Yorker
"Not since William Faulkner have we seen anything quite like this."
-- George Garrett, Hollins University, Virginia
