Review:

"A big, sprawling book... He's infused it with so much inventive imagination.... It's a book that should be put in a Manhattan time capsule with the note: 'This is how we lived at the turn of the century.' "
-The New York Times Book Review

Review:

"Wonderful writing... it sparkles with original observations about society, the media, marriage, Microsoft, computer hackers, the global economy and the new power triangle of New York, Los Angeles and Seattle."
-USA Today

Review:

"Astonishing... An entertaining novel... Andersen [is] the first most promising novelist of the Third Millennium."
-Entertainment Weekly

Synopsis:

Set in the year 2000, "Turn of the Century" is a panoramic, hyper-realistic, up-to-the-second comedy of manners that depicts marriage, family, friendship, and business as they are conducted in our giddy, anxious time, amplified by Andersen's explosive writing and dead-on wit.
