You or Someone Like You

<p>Chandler Burr's challenging first novel is many things: a glimpse into Hollywood culture an argument about religious identity a plea for the necessity of literature. This is a roman that needs no clefs. --<em>Washington Post</em><p></p></p> <p> </p></p><p><em>New York </em>Magazine<em> </em>calls <em>You or Someone Like You </em>The highbrow humanist name-dropping book of the summer. The remarkable first novel by Chandler Burr the <em>New York Times</em> scent critic and author of <em>The Perfect Scent </em>is funny smart and provocative--an extraordinarily ambitious work of fiction that succeeds on many different levels. It is a book David Ebershoff (author<em> </em>of <em>The 19th Wife</em>) enthusiastically recommends for anyone who defiantly clings to the belief that a book can change our lives.<p></p></p>
