Praise for Analog DaysA Literary Hub Most Anticipated Book of 2025“Analog Days succeeds by rejecting Slope’s gimmick and his vague moralizing. Instead, it folds the anxieties and symptoms of its narrator and his friends into its structure and form.” —Ryan Lackey, Los Angeles Review of Books“[Analog Days’] real interest lies in the ordinary power of sensation, rather than the flashbulb sensationalism of event. [It] reveals something far deeper about how we will remember the future.” —Kirkus“Searls’s writing is effective not only because of how insightful and playful it often is, . . . but also in the way he maintains our attention as he shifts from one subject to another.” —Mark Daniel Taylor, The Masters Review“Searls . . . offers in these clear-eyed ruminations a Gen Xer’s impressions of the technology and violence that shape 21st-century life. . . . It’s a stimulating attempt at making sense of a gloomy world.” —Publishers Weekly“More relatable and more timely than ever.” —Emily Temple, Literary HubPraise for Damion Searls“I feel that Damion has an unbelievable talent. I must admit that it is sometimes a mystery to me how he does it!” —Jon Fosse, Nobel Prize-winning author of Septology“Searls is a wonderful writer, funny, compassionate, and unfailingly attentive to all the magical coincidences (or are they?) and twists of human history." —Elif Batuman, author of Either/Or“Damion Searls is one of the most erudite and original—and provocative—thinkers.” —Jennifer Croft, author of The Extinction of Irena Rey“Damion Searls now verge[s] on being [a] literary household name.” —The Nation“Remarkable.” —Percival Everett, National Book Award-winning author of James“Searls [is] one of our best working translators.” —Literary Hub
