Recensione:

Praise for Making History

“A bright, engaging, learned novel . . . Terrific.”
—The Washington Post

“Witty and eccentric . . . The ever astute actor/author asks the question: Does man make history or does history create the man? And [he] answers with a jolt of surprising insight.”
—Elle

“Making History tears along like a cinematic thriller, building suspense with each fresh scene.”
—Baltimore Sun

“Exuberant . . . brilliant and convincing.”
—Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Part academic send-up, part zany screenplay, and part invented history, the novel dives headfirst into the trashbin of history and roots around with alternating elan and solemnity . . . Imaginative.”
—BookPage

“Clever, throught-provoking and very funny.”
—Library Journal

“[Fry’s] best novel yet . . . An extravagant, deeply questioning work of science fiction.”
—GQ
