Media reviews
“[A] fascinating, complex debut novel . . . Ratcheted onto the spine of an un-put-downable mystery and brimming with entertaining dialogue and unique, well-wrought characters, this is one of those rare books that corners every mood, every emotion, and throws them into the spotlight. Lundgren’s debut is a fierce, funny examination of loss, set against one of the most creative worlds in recent memory, and it’s not to be missed.” —Publishers Weekly
“Forget the diminutive label of debut; Lundgren writes like a veteran in his prime, and The Facades is simply one of the best novels I’ve read in years, period.” —Teddy Wayne, author of The Love Song of Jonny Valentine
“Eric Lundgren was written exactly the king of book I hope to stumble upon, to be seized by, to be astonished by, to marvel at.” —Arthur Phillips, author of The Tragedy of Arthur and Prague
