"I've long had a brief, two-word review of Ephemeris: Part Circle that simply consisted of the words "deliciously" and "weird." The order is unimportant. I've tried topping that to little avail. Not that there's nothing else to say, it's just that saying everything that needs to be said could take 5 volumes and a plethora of footnotes. It's a novel one might compare to Douglas Adams and Robin Williams meeting each other at the top of their respective games and then being shipped off to the outback and asked to file a report about the experience. Laughs abound, and while a lot of the jokes are explained via footnote, after a few chapters you adapt to the format, eyes bouncing up and down the page like Space Dan attempting to decipher the instructions for the foodcombinator. (Don't worry, it will all make sense in time.) Ephemeris: Part Circle is one of those rare books to come along and simultaneously too plain for the hip crowd and too subversive for the norms, and as such should not be read by anyone. Except for you. You, my fellow chap (or chappette), being one to take the time to seek out and read this part of the cover to this degree of exacting detail are just touched enough in the head to really get a kick out of this book. Come on in. It's going to get weird, deliciously."
