Similar in its ambitions and power to 1984 and Waiting for the Barbarians, Lights Out in the Reptile House combines the gravity of the dystopian political parable with the freshness and energy of the classic American coming-of-age novel. In it Jim Shepard significantly extends the force and range of current American fiction.
