  • "A gathering of psychoanalysts and a narrator with a dissociated personality whose vantage point is the ceiling of a pancake house--these are the basic elements of this deadly serious, desperately playful, off-the-wall and perfectly on-target new novel."
  • "When Tom, a middle-aged psychologist, meets with his colleagues in a lower end pancake house and tries to start a food fight when a rival colleague, a burly man with a swollen ego, who puts him in a bear hug, upon which Tom has an out of body experience and does an exposition on the nature of pancake houses."
  • "Dans un restaurant de crêpes, se réunit, pour une soirée de travail et de discussions, une association de psychanalystes dont Manuel Escobar, kleinien réputé, Richard Bernhardt, imposante figure paternelle, Sherwin, un ivrogne, Tom, le narrateur et Maria, son ex. L'auteur reprend des thèmes qui lui sont chers notamment celui de l'identité ménacée de dissolution."
  • "Tijdens een etentje van twintig Amerikaanse psychoanalisten raakt een van hen in een acute midlife crisis."
  • "With a New Introduction by George Saunders A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year It is early spring, and Tom has called together his fellow psychologists at the Krakower Institute for their biannual pancake supper'a chance for likeminded analysts to talk shop and casually unburden themselves over flapjacks. But, as Tom knows (at least subconsciously), his brainy colleagues are a little on edge'simmering with romantic tension and professional grievance, their stew of conflicting ego and id just might boil to the surface before the pretty waitress brings their next coffee refill. When Tom tries to provoke a food fight, a rival colleague locks him in a therapeutic hold, triggering a transcendent if totally bizarre transformation that will free Tom to confront his greatest pleasures and fears. Darkly funny and beautifully written, The Verificationist confirms Donald Antrim as one of America's best and most original authors."@en
