Chandler Burrs challenging first novel is many things: a glimpse into Hollywood culture, an argument about religious identity, a plea for the necessity of literature. This is a roman that needs no clefs. -Washington PostNew York Magazinecalls You or Someone Like You, The highbrow humanist name-dropping book of the summer. The remarkable first novel by Chandler Burr, the New York Times scent critic and author of The Perfect Scent, is funny, smart, and provocative-an extraordinarily ambitious work of fiction that succeeds on many different levels. It is a book David Ebershoff, (authorof The 19th Wife) enthusiastically recommends for anyone who defiantly clings to the belief that a book can change our lives.
