Description for The Organs of Sense: A Novel
Review 'A delightful perversion of history.' ?Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal'Somewhere at the intersection of sober science, historical pastiche and lunatic parable . . . [The Organs of Sense] is brilliant, weird, and profound, telling truths about the modern condition that most novelists today have forgotten, or never knew.' ?Adam Kirsch, Tablet 'In his sublime first novel . . . which recalls the nested monologues of Thomas Bernhard and the cerebral farces of Donald Antrim, [Adam Ehrlich] Sachs demonstrates the difficulty of getting inside other people�s heads (literally and figuratively) and out of one�s own . . . How it all comes together gives the book the feel of an intellectual thriller. Sachs�s talent is on full display in this brilliant work of visionary absurdism.' ?Publishers Weekly (starred review) 'Sachs confidently fictionalizes history, infusing the process of scientific discovery with dark absurdity.' ?The New Yorker 'This impressive debut is for fans of George Saunders and Vladimir Nabokov . . . [it is] filled with delightful tales of palace intrigue, sibling rivalry, and extensive forays into empirical thought and logic. Deep philosophy is applied to nearly everything that pops up, including the eating of soup.' ?Library Journal (starred review)'Beguiling and utterly magical . . . a riveting story about geopolitical scheming, warfare, and the reach of the Catholic League in the seventeenth century. At the novel�s beating heart, though, is a much more universal theme as Sachs considers father-son relationships and other complicated family dynamics that can make or break creative ambitions of all stripes . . . Sprinkled with generous doses of philosophy, this gem of a novel, with a spectacular denouement, might make for labored reading initially, but ultimately, it�s an utterly immersive and transportive work of art.' ?Poornima Apte, Booklist (starred review) 'Adam Ehrlich Sachs's The Organs of Sense is layers-deep. At its core it's a story of a 1666 encounter between a young Gottfried Leibniz and a blind astronomer who makes the unlikely prediction of a solar eclipse . . . It is at once a pitch-perfect send-up of an overwrought philosophical tract and a philosophical tract in its own right?meaty, hilarious, and a brilliant examination of intangible and utterly human mysteries.' ?Arianna Rebolini, BuzzFeed News 'This tale of wit and science . . . is a crazy quilt of alchemical fable, family drama and shaggy dog saga . . . [Sachs] has martini-dry wit and a fantastic sense of comic timing . . . In a literary landscape crying out for wit and intricacy . . . [The Organs of Sense is] highly recommended.' ?Leigh Anne Focareta, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 'A madcap, ingenious fable that booms with endless jokes and riffs about the nature of consciousness, The Organs of Sense is yet another dazzling, high-wire performance from our modern-day Kleist, Adam Ehrlich Sachs.' ?Karan Mahajan, author of The Association of Small Bombs'Mix Umberto Eco and Thomas Pynchon, add dashes of Liu Cixin and Isaac Asimov, and you�ll approach this lively novel of early science . . . impeccably written.' ?Kirkus Reviews 'At once erudite and comic, The Organs of Sense is an absurd and beautifully finessed pseudo-historical novel which deftly circles around a dark core.' ?Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World and A Collapse of Horses'This is the funniest and most original novel I've read in a very long time, a madcap blend of philosophical malpractice and byzantine palace intrigue. It's like what might happen if Helen DeWitt attempted a revisionist seventeenth-century historical novel, or if W. G. Sebald had gone insane. In other words, there's nothing else like it. Read it and see!' ?Andrew Martin, author of Early Work Read more About the Author Adam Ehrlich Sachs is the author of the collection Inherited Disorders: Stories, Parables, and Problems, which was a semifinalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor and a finalist for the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature.
