Publisher Description

With the literary inventiveness of Paul Auster and the dark absurdity of Kafka, Laird Hunt's impressive debut is a smart, funny noir that is as fittingly spare as a bare ceiling light. Deadpan delivery and a sly eye for detail characterize The Impossibly's anonymous narrator, and when the nameless operative botches an assignment for the clandestine organization that employs him, everyone in his life - including his girlfriend - is revealed to be either true-blue, double operative, or both.

The narrator's final chilling assignment - to identify his own assassin - masterfully dismantles the reader's own analysis of the evidence. This is a fresh, daring love story set in a world of crime and deep confusion, told by an unreliable and not-unhumorous individual, who is more interested in love than in crime and is clearly ill-equipped for both.

"Reading this book is quite an experience, although I definitely feel that the beginning is much better than the end. That isn't to say that I don't like the end, but that I loved the beginning, whereas the end wasn't quite as good as that. "
