I'm Gone

"A mystery that doubles as a sly work of serious literature. . . . This novel is a quick read and a true jewel."
Kirkus Reviews

" I'm Gone combines the policier , the cultural essay and the urban sex novel to create a vivid, entertaining, hybrid."
— The New York Times Book Review

"Combining the offhand wit of Raymond Chandler with the narrative agility of Peter Høeg, Echenoz crafts a clever, philosophical tale."
— Publishers Weekly

"With a wink and a nod and an easy manner of style, Echenoz all but tells us outright not to take any of this too seriously to enjoy I'm Gone in the same devil-may-care spirit in which it is offered."
— The Boston Sunday Globe

"A mordantly humorous work."
— Bookforum

"Echenoz both employs and subverts the convention of the adventure and detective genres in this sly send-up of contemporary art life."
— Library Journal
