Eugene Lim is amazing because he’s really adventurous with form and style … It’s so hard to break apart fiction and do something really unusual with it, and to do it so gracefully … [H]e can also just continually make it beautiful.
—Dennis Cooper in Dazed

Every time I see a new Eugene Lim book on the shelves, I’m grateful... I read Search History with that exhilarating comfort I’ve felt in the best artists of their times.
—Gina Apostol

[In] Search History, Eugene Lim’s new masterpiece ... Lim has found a way to capture both the pointed specificity of the internet and its Borgesian infiniteness ... utterly original, from its opening pages to its final sentences.
—John Keene

Eugene Lim’s slim, haunting new novel, Dear Cyborgs… should vault him into the first rank of American writers.
—Ross Barkan in The Village Voice

Eugene Lim’s Dear Cyborgs is a novel of the future . . . written in calm and succinct, elegant prose.
—Chris Kraus in Bomb Magazine

Dear Cyborgs … blew me away with its deceptively blithe mixture of cryptic humor, philosophical ingenuity, and genuine political yearning.
—Jonathan Lethem, The Chicago Review of Books

[I]n Dear Cyborgs Lim has delivered something far more idiosyncratic, intricate, and useful: a novel that resists and subverts conventions at every turn.
—Christian Lorentzen in New York Magazine

Dear Cyborgs by Eugene Lim is very very very special and makes you feel like you’re trapped in the Windows 95 screensaver maze but with other people and they tell good stories
—Tavi Gevinson

Beautifully written, so precise and accurate to real life that it is (fantastically) convincing, ... a skilfully devised and satisfying resolution. A fascinating and engrossing tale.
— Lydia Davis on The Strangers

What an astonishing book! Beautiful, original, with delicious surprises lurking at the heart of sentences, of events, of all the engines of communication.
— Harry Mathews on The Strangers

A beautifully paced and thoughtful work.
—Renee Gladman on Fog & Car

This is a deep, engulfing novel of breathtaking, even spooking precision—an altogether heady and heart-shaking debut.
—Garielle Lutz on Fog & Car
