Reviews
The Only Words That Are Worth Remembering is one very funny book. More than that, it clearly establishes Jeffrey Rotter's voice as a unique and necessary part of the 21st century., "Compelling... A humbling monument to the sorrow, and the power, of loneliness... But it's not a dour book, by any stretch. Rowan's voice is as unique as it is charismatic, a rough hewn mix of Southern drawl and precious wonder. And there's a vein of humor that runs through his narrative, dry yet unmistakable." -- NPR "A dark comedy, a clever, funny satire on the way reality is distorted by time and willful ignorance... Rotter's second novel is just as funny as his first ( The Unknown Knowns ), and -- in our own age of populist challenges to science -- just as topical." -- BookPage "Using lush, sensory language, Jeffrey Rotter manages to make his futuristic tale feel vividly present. At its core lies something timeless: a family whose bonds and struggles are riveting and poignant." --Jennifer Egan, author of A Visit from the Goon Squad, author of A Visit from the Goon Squad "Scary, hilarious, sweet, and forlorn. Jeffrey Rotter has fashioned a fresh take on the dystopian novel. The Only Words That Are Worth Remembering is full of strange worlds, mutated language, and genuine post-human, de-humanized human feeling." --Sam Lipsyte, author of The Ask "Like Vonnegut at his most tender, like Portis at his funniest, Jeffrey Rotter twists society as we know it into wild balloon-animal shapes, ones in which we may just recognize ourselves. The Only Words That Are Worth Remembering would be heartbreaking -- even devastating -- if it weren't so damn much fun to read." --John Wray, author of Lowboy " The Only Words That Are Worth Remembering is one very funny book. More than that, it clearly establishes Jeffrey Rotter's voice as a unique and necessary part of the 21st century." --Douglas Coupland, author of Worst. Person. Ever. "Rotter's seemingly effortless ability to marry the heartbreakingly authentic with the totally crazy makes The Only Words That Are Worth Remembering a rare display of talent reminiscent of Kafka's work." --Etgar Keret, author of Suddenly, A Knock on the Door, Rotter's seemingly effortless ability to marry the heartbreakingly authentic with the totally crazy makes The Only Words That Are Worth Remembering a rare display of talent reminiscent of Kafka's work., Using lush, sensory language, Jeffrey Rotter manages to make his futuristic tale feel vividly present. At its core lies something timeless: a family whose bonds and struggles are riveting and poignant., A dark comedy, a clever, funny satire on the way reality is distorted by time and willful ignorance... Rotter's second novel is just as funny as his first ( The Unknown Knowns ), and -- in our own age of populist challenges to science -- just as topical., Praise for The Unknown Knowns: "Perceptive and humorous . . . Goes beyond the obvious sendup to explore the private and at times desperate ways his characters strive to secure their own homeland . . . Rotter's imagination is formidable and fresh." -Joseph Salvatore, The New York Times Book Review "A wonderful book-smart, tight, and funny- A Confederacy of Dunces meets Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin. I loved it." -Douglas Coupland , author of Generation X "Absurdly hilarious . . . So smart about paranoia, so freshly observed, I feared the era of Rumsfeld had returned." - Gary Shteyngart , author of Little Failure, Like Vonnegut at his most tender, like Portis at his funniest, Jeffrey Rotter twists society as we know it into wild balloon-animal shapes, ones in which we may just recognize ourselves. The Only Words That Are Worth Remembering would be heartbreaking -- even devastating -- if it weren't so damn much fun to read., Compelling...

Synopsis
A darkly comic, wildly original novel of a family in flight from the law, set in a near-future America -- a Clockwork Orange with a Huck Finn heart In a not-so-distant future, astronomy has become a fairy tale, Copernicus is forgotten, and the Earth has resumed its lonely spot in the center of the universe. But when an ancient bunker containing a preserved space vehicle is discovered beneath the ruins of Cape Canaveral, it has the power to turn this retrograde world inside out. Enter the Van Zandt clan, whose run-ins with the law leave them with a no-win choice: test-pilot the rocket together as a family or be sent separately to prison for life. Their decision sets off an antic and heartbreaking search for human solace in a world bent on isolation, as the Van Zandts embark on an unforgettable road trip across the ass-end of an America only slightly more dissolute than our own. Uniquely tying an absurdist future to gut-bucket wit, The Only Words That Are Worth Remembering hauls our dark humanity into the light and shows us the precious places where it gleams.
